About This Quote
In the dark, a lone figure stands on a large rock, at the MoorWanderer in the black wind. The MoorWanderer, as it is known, is a common figure in the Spanish tradition of art and literature. The MoorWanderer is a sculpture or painting of a man standing or sitting on a rock with his back to the viewer. The man’s hands are often held together as if praying, and his head often appears to be bowed.
As you can see from the description, he usually has his back to us and appears lost in thought. That description could be applied to many lonely people who just sit and ponder their lives. The MoorWanderer is often found in places where we feel we have no influence over our lives — perhaps at the top of a mountain or on a beach and looking out to sea.
