Rais'd of themselves, their genuine charms they boast,
And those who paint them truest praise them most.

last lines.Joseph Addison

There is imagery. Symbolism is a difficult idea. I’m not a symbolist. In other words, these are painting experiences. I don’t decide in advance that am going to paint a definite experience, but in the act of painting, it becomes a genuine experience for me. It’s not symbolism any more than it’s calligraphy. I’m not painting bridge constructions, skyscrapers or laundry tickets.. ..I don’t paint a given object – a figure or a table; I paint an organization that becomes a painting.. ..it’s not these things that get me started on a painting.. (1958)
Franz Kline
But who can paint
Like Nature? Can imagination boast,
Amid its gay creation, hues like hers?James Thomson
Birth bestows less of honour than it demands; and to boast of ancestry is but to praise the merit of others.
Anne-Therese de Marguenat de Courcelles
Hail to the land whereon we tread,
Our fondest boast!
The sepulchres of mighty dead,
The truest hearts that ever bled,
Who sleep on glory’s brightest bed,
A fearless host:
No slave is here:—our unchained feet,
Walk freely as the waves that beat
Our coast.James Gates Percival
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!
Praise Him, all creatures here below!
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host!
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!Thomas Ken
