We are in search of women that dont exist except in paintings and poetry. For this reason we often get into trouble. The women in a painting represents the cumulative beauty, the essence of thousands of women that a painter comes across. She is really thousands of women rolled into one. She is the keynote of the song of countless women the painter came across in the course of his search for BEAUTY.Beauty is that whcih attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive. when you meet the beauty, you feel that the hands deep within your innerself are stretched forth to bring her into the domain of your heart. It is a magnificance combined of sorrow and joy. It is the unseen you see, and the vague which you understand, and the mute which you hear. It is the holy of holies that begins in yourself and ends vastly beyond your earthly imagination.
