Love Is Knowledge

The next choice of image for the sketchbook project represents my passion for knowledge.  I have collected autographs since I was a child and when I was young the cinematographer Vittorio Storaro answered one of my fan letters.  He didnt just send me his autograph but he sent me a poem written in Italian but which translates as the following:
The light is word
The word is love,
Love is knowledge
Knowledge is freedom
Freedom is light
Light is power
Power is all.
I love the power this poem imbues knowledge with.  I recently heard the story about Albert Einstein and the simple bus ride he took which inspired his understanding of relativity.  Astonishing!!
This picture was done in purple using 0.2 and 0.4 size nibs.
