stay deep

Stay deep within yourself and stay alone there – that is where your poems come from, and that has nothing to do with audience. You are the audience.

Contemporary trends of thought have imagined art to be a fountain, whereas it is a sponge. They have decided that art ought to gush forth, whereas it should absorb and become saturated. They think it can be broken down into means of depiction, whereas it is composed of organs of perception.

Its proper task is to be always among the spectators and to look more purely, receptively and faithfully than all others.


―Boris Pasternak

Every perception of colour is an illusion, we do not see colours as they really are. In our perception they alter one another.
