Cezanne:

Gauguin went a long way to paint a view 
I can see each day out my studio window,  
as the brush of light catches the distant
foothills of Sainte-Victoire, stacking them in
rounded mounds towards the sky. 
Foreground? A small piece of the man-made,
rigid and boxed, provides counterpoint 
for my constant attempts to pin this mountain, 
to my canvas, map my search for summits.
