The art best cultivated
is the art of waiting for the art of being still
or for the strength of clay that can resist the potter's will. (Homage to Omar Khayyám)
For I remember stopping by the way To watch a Potter thumping his wet Clay: And with its all-obliterated Tongue It murmur'd -"Gently, Brother, gently, pray!"
(from the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, as translated by Edward Fitzgerald)
