“ In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you. ”
When you look at nature, you see a hidden mystery that gives a special flavor to the photograph.
~ Abbas Kiarostami
The calling of art is to extract us from our daily reality, to bring us to a hidden truth that's difficult to access - to a level that's not material but spiritual.
Poetry always runs away from you - it's very difficult to grasp it, and every time you read it, depending on your conditions, you will have a different grasp of it. Whereas with a novel, once you have read it, you have grasped it.
The world is my workshop. It is not my home.
