An Artist
"What does it mean "to write well"?
An artist--using the word in its genuine rather than childish meaning-is not a craftsman who knows how to evenly distribute "lively images", "telling details of everyday life", "colorful landscapes", and other trifles in his books; an artist is the one who finds a rhythm unknown before, and enlives and permeates the world he has created by this rhythm."
-Nabokov
I see the beautiful letter in the foreground of the picture. It's now hanging in the studio with many of my treasured letters from my niece's and Nephews.
over the last 6 months i have sent 6 hand written letters to folks without a single one returned . it is such a lost art!
ReplyDeleteYup..i think that is so sad..I love to send and recieve letters.
ReplyDeleteI'm writing you a letter tonight. Send me your address or I'll hand deliver it :)

I am quite the fan of hand written gems. I send out postcards often to friends. Just as a reminder.
ReplyDeleteWish I had a personal life.
