To
put into language the deep things of the heart is the business of
poets. These are they that search the truths of life in metaphor, the
elusive dream, the memory faded in time, the treasures of past years
and childhood joys. The artist, the poet of visual perceptions,
carves into his medium patterns of things barely noticed that awakens
the soul in appreciation of the fullness of life or to strike the
imagination in fantasy. No compliment to the artist can surpass the
prolonged gaze, the tear brushed from the eye or a chuckle over the
comical anecdote.
