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
This is a very evocative image; it suggests may things. It's also a very sensual composition.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sid. Very evocative. Membranes, water, contortion.....birth, passage, ??????? Very sensual and thoughtful.
