Caspar David Friedrich Quote

The divine is everywhere, even in a grain of sand; there I represented it in the reeds.


On his painting Swans in the Rushes (c.1820), as quoted in "Absent Presences in Liminal Places: Murnau's Nosferatu and the Otherworld of Stoker's Dracula" by Saviour Catania in Literature Film Quarterly (2004)


The divine is everywhere, even in a grain of sand; there I represented it in the reeds.

The divine is everywhere, even in a grain of sand; there I represented it in the reeds.

The divine is everywhere, even in a grain of sand; there I represented it in the reeds.

The divine is everywhere, even in a grain of sand; there I represented it in the reeds.
