“Old Henry explained to her that the Ancient People had developed masonry and pottery far beyond any other crafts… Their pottery was their most direct appeal to water, the envelope and sheath of the precious element itself…
“The stream and the broken pottery: what was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself – life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose?”
— Willa Cather, The Song of the Lark
