The Picture of a Flower
“The picture of a flower in a botanical book is information; its mission ends with our knowledge. But in pure art it is a personal communication. And therefore until it finds its harmony in the depth of our personality it misses the mark. We can treat existence solely as a textbook furnishing us lessons, and we shall not be disappointed, but we know that there its mission does not end. For in our joy in it, which is an end in itself, we feel that it is a communication, the...

The random quote today led me to a comment in the group story I wrote a little more than a year from now. I found in it a renewed resonance this morning… (*) After he sent his reply to Yann, Yurick took a deep breath in appreciation of all that had been done the last past days.
