I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low; the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset.

The Holy Bible: The King James Version. 1611. (Revelation 6:8).

I was walking along the road with two friends.
The sun was setting.
I felt a breath of melancholy-Suddenly the sky turned blood-red.
I stopped, and leaned against the railing, deathly tired-
looking out across the flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword over the blue-black fjord and town.
My friends walked on-I stood there, trembling with fear.
And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature.

Edvard Munch

Describing the experience that led him to paint "The Scream".
