MASTODONTE: THE WORLD

I approached the Colombia based consolidating publishing house, MASTODONTE, with my work recently and I was invited to take part in their debut editorial publication of art and articles on the theme of Maps.

I based my entry on a poem by Henry Vaughan called 'The World', which was used in excerpt by Bertrand Russell in his 'History of Western Philosophy' to depict a pre-socratic vision of the world.

I saw Eternity the other night

I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm, as it was bright;
And round beneath it, Time in hours, days, years,
Driven by the spheres
Like a vast shadow moved; in which the world
And all her train were hurled.

- Henry Vaughan
