Symphonie paysanne

“… I like these littleknown and often disdained peasants – because they are men who struggle against real odds, in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the seasons. They don’t fight against the stupidity or cruelty of men, but against the vagaries of nature: frost, drought, plant and animal sicknesses – and the result of this effort is the supreme reward: creators of life, masters of life, they are demi-gods.
