this is the eternal origin of art 
that a human being confronts a form
that wants to become a work through him.
not a figment of his soul
but something that appears to the soul 
and demands the soul's creative power.
what is required is a deed
that a man speaks with his whole being.
if he commits it and speaks with his being
the basic word to the form that appears
then the creative power is released
and the work comes into being.


i and thou
