It is this moment --- this gasp at the sheer impossibility that these phenomena, the beautiful circle of ferns and the beautiful red petals have come together in this way (and yet they have, look!) --- this gasp is eternity. Or, if it isn’t eternity, then maybe I want this instead of the eternal.<BR/><BR/>Green in its circle, its spiral to the core, interrupted --- or bridged --- by the sculpted shape of the red petals --- blood, flesh, mouth, vulva --- in suspense, neither before nor after, but <I>now</I>….<BR/><BR/>is this not the point (one point?) of the quotation about Kandinsky, that the (an?) essence of the artistic impulse is in this sort of eruption of the moment of eternity into the flow of time (and this has already been here in your posts, it was the first thing I knew about you, though I had no words for it….). <BR/><BR/>My new friend Danilov: “The imagination of the poet is not to be removed from the imagination of the child staring out the window, dreaming of a world as yet unknown to his senses…. What memories rage through his dreams? What world did he lose at birth? …. And what is the soul but an empty cage where the spirit of creation enters through the bars?”<BR/><BR/><I>The spirit of creation</I> … the entry of eternity into the time of the image ... <I>you do this</I>…James Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614935078978354375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006918362371724227.post-81137539474025202412009-03-02T06:50:00.000+02:002009-03-02T06:50:00.000+02:00I saw this on Saturday and meant to write you.
