Omnibus of Art

From Weekly I/O#107


"Life is an obscure hobo, bumming a ride on the omnibus of art." — Maxwell H. Brock

Quote

Love these beautiful opening lines from Maxwell H. Brock in the movie A Bucket of Blood:

I will talk to you of Art, For there is nothing else to talk about, For there is nothing else.

Life is an obscure hobo bumming a ride On the omnibus of Art.

Burn gas, buggies and whip your sour cream of circumstance And hope, and go ahead and sleep your bloody heads off.

Creation is, all else is not. Creation is graham crackers;

Let it all crumble to feed the creator; Feed him that he may be satisfied. The Artist is, all others are not.

A canvas is a canvas or a painting. A rock is a rock or a statue. A sound is a sound or is music. A preacher is a preacher, or an Artist.
