Everything we see falls apart, vanishes, doesn't it?

Nature is always the same, but nothing in her that appears to us, lasts. 

Our art must render the thrill of her permanence along with her elements, 

the appearance of all her changes. 

It must give us the taste of her eternity. 
What is there underneath?   Maybe nothing.  Maybe everything. 
Everything, you understand! 

~ Paul Cezanne
