  • Prophecy

    Oscar Wilde, Ireland

    (Submitted by Fiona Lynch, Ireland)

    Every single work of art is the fulfilment of a prophecy: for every work of art is the conversion of an idea into an image. Every single human being should be the fulfilment of a prophecy. For every human being should be the realisation of some ideal, either in the mind of God or in the mind of man.

  • Winters
