The horizon you chase but never touch, painted by collisions you'll never live to see.
means The visible features of an area of land, especially the way they combine to form a scene; also, to deliberately shape such an area with plants and contours.
from From Dutch 'landschap' — 'land' plus '-schap' (a suffix like English '-ship,' meaning a condition or region). It arrived in English in the late 1500s as a painters' term, brought over with the Dutch masters who made the genre famous; only later did it leak out of the studio to mean the actual countryside, not just its picture.
