-Set his mind in the quest of unknown art
"But Daedalus was weary; by this time
he'd been exiled in Crete too long; he pined
for his own land; but he was blocked - the sea
stood in his way. "Through Minos bars escape
by land our waves," he said, "I still can take
the sky - there lies my path. Though he owns all,
he does not own the air!" At once he starts
to work on unknown arts, to alter nature." Metamorphoses of Ovid
M.C. EscherWhat is the path to unknown art? What is unknown art for that matter? The picture above is a piece by M.C. Escher. Escher was an artist that produced pieces that created optical illusions. I think this "optical illusion" greatly represents the idea of unknown art.
Buddha as a baby say:
-people who kept from getting old
-People who kept from getting sick
-people who kept from dieing
Ovid Influenced Shakespeare!
Well, I guess by this time in the semester, we all know that...But the fact of the matter is, Ovid influenced ALL major writers after his time!
Imagination needs an open mind!
