Creation
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Creation (disambiguation))
"Ah, what does it matter to [nature's] hand, which is always at work creating, that this or that mass of flesh which today constitutes an individual biped may be reproduced tomorrow in the form of a thousand different insects?"--Justine by Marquis de Sade [...] "Before the ocean and the earth appeared— before the skies had overspread them all— the face of Nature in a vast expanse was naught but Chaos uniformly waste. It was a rude and undeveloped mass, that nothing made except a ponderous weight; and all discordant elements confused, were there congested in a shapeless heap." --Metamorphoses by Ovid (Brookes More translation) |
