William Morris
Tuesday, November 11, 2008History, is priceless. It gives us people whom we have no way of knowing, its shows us their lives as examples, as inspiration. And if you need comfort from people who have been there done it, it gives you that in all glorious detail. One of histories many gifts is William Morris, who is very close to my heart as he was an artist with many definitions and therefore bound by none. His art went where his passions went and he was an architect, furniture & textile designer, poet and socialist. I have often wondered, envied and looked wistfully at people who found that one passion and all their life went into honing that into perfection. But William Morris is someone who lived a life where there was space and scope to go and develop all the different things he wanted to do. He just did what he wanted :)
