When you meet the poet
That hour is blessed when we meet a
poet, the poet is brother to a Dervish he has no country nor is he blessed
with the things of the world, and we poor creatures that we are. are
worrying about fame power and riches, the poet stands on a basis of
equality with the power of the earth and people bow down for him.
Pushkin
Perhaps this is an indictment of
spirituality a mandate for the noble profession
to record what has moved you and enlightened your world. by making
paintings, or poetry you enter a timelessness mental state and record with
all your God given skills for posterity Drake
