Brian Eno and John Cale - ‘Empty Frame’
So they rode the sea, it went on and on
They were years away, though it seemed so long
But the captain never told them what he knew
As the poor ship laboured on through the endless blue
Oh, the storm was strong and the ship was so frail
But they stumbled on raising broken sails
And they held the heavy sky on their open hands
And they dreamed of when their poor feet would touch the land
Baby, we're going 'round in circles
Where is this place we're going to?
Does anybody know we're out here on the waves?
And are any of our signals coming through?
We're going 'round in circles
We have no single point of view
And like the clouds that turn to every passing wind
We turn to any signal that comes through
At the edge of the sea were the signs of the dove
But the wrong way out and the wrong way up
We pushed the empty frame of reason out the cabin door
No, we won't be needing reasons anymore

John Steinbeck, ‘East of Eden’
John Ernst Steinbeck Jr. (1902 – 1968) was an American author. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception." He has been called "a giant of American letters," and many of his works are considered classics of Western literature.
During his writing career, he authored 33 books. He is widely known for the comic novels Tortilla Flat (1935) and Cannery Row (1945), the multi-generation epic East of Eden (1952), and the novellas The Red Pony (1933) and Of Mice and Men (1937). The Pulitzer Prize-winning The Grapes of Wrath (1939) is considered Steinbeck's masterpiece and part of the American literary canon. In the first 75 years after it was published, it sold 14 million copies.
Most of Steinbeck's work is set in central California, particularly in the Salinas Valley and the California Coast Ranges region. His works frequently explored the themes of fate and injustice, especially as applied to downtrodden or everyman protagonists.

Love – the greatest of the three Christian virtues, the other two being faith and hope. Rembrandt portrayed the very tender, intimate physical exchange between the Biblical couple Isaac and Rebecca.
