Music follows sound
as poem follows speech
and sculpture follows
object but there is nothing
that painting follows;
carried by colour,
it just moves forward
and passes from the state
of an idea to the one
of substance.
Facing his picture,
the painter knows
that his creation stands
in a place of its own.
He is the only one
who will have to turn
thoughts into material
while remaining,
however, in a two
dimensions world.
d.a.s
