... when to be and delight to be seemed to be one ...

When to be and delight to be seemed to be one:

A quote from Leonardo da Vinci and excerpts from poems by Wallace Stevens:

Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.

 Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519)

... The partaker partakes of that which changes him. 

The child that touches takes character from the thing, 

The body, it touches. 

The captain and his men 

Are one and the sailor and the sea are one. ...

 out of “It Must Change" by Wallace Stevens, 1879-1955)

... But he remembered the time when he stood alone, 

When to be and delight to be seemed to be one, 

Before the colors deepened and grew small. ...

out of “ANGLAIS MORT À FLORENCE" by Wallace Stevens, 1879-1955)
