Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly

'Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower—but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.' #Tennyson #GFWatts

This quote from Mary Watts’ diary shows that Evelyn De Morgan and GFWatts would discuss human obsession with wealth. Can you see the men with money bags💰 in each painting? Look how they are so focussed on cash, they can’t see the happiness they push away.
