DIARIO 11 DE FEBRERO DE 1859
Nature
works by contraries. That which in summer was most fluid and unresting is now
most solid and motionless. If in the summer you cast a twig into the stream it
instantly moved along with the current, and nothing remained as it was. Now I
see yonder a long row of black-twigs standing erect in mid-channel where two
months ago a fisherman set them and fastened his lines to them. They stand
there motionless as guide-posts while snow and ice are piled up about them.
Such is the cold skill of the artist. He carves a statue out of a material which is fluid as water to the ordinary workman. His sentiments are a quarry which he works.
