“I still think of the enigma of the horse, in the sense of the marine god: once I envisioned it in the gloom of a temple that rose above the sea, the speaking messenger and the seer that the sea god had given to the king of Argos. I imagined it made of cut marble as white and pure as a diamond. It crouched like a sphinx on its haunches and its eyes and in the movement of its white neck were to be found the enigma and infinite nostalgia of the deep.”
(Giorgio de Chirico, in De Chirico and the Mediterranean, New York, 1998)
