Goethe, I believe, worked on Faust for decades... picked it up and abandoned it... Rilke on his Elegies, also, for incredibly long. There's a reason both of these works are masterpieces and the men who produced them are perceived as immortal masters. We steal from ourselves when we pick fruit from our garden that has not yet ripened...
Thanks, for indulging me, @barrydutton. Here's an introduction to my work, if you're interested: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/poetry/humble-one-liners-can-teach-us-times-live
Warmly, Yahia
nice. that first paragraph is gold.
THAT right there just would have earned my following, if I hadn't been following you already. 💗
You’re incredibly kind to say so, and I’m truly humbled by how graciously you have received my commentary on your art. Forgive me, for being somewhat clueless when it comes to technology - I shall make an effort to listen to more of your compositions on your station. To quote Goethe, once more, all art conspires to the condition of music.
Meanwhile, I hope my (mere) words might keep you good company - just posted a new poem, today :)
Sweet dreams, @rok-sivante
