THE VINTAGE MAN
The
Difference
Between a good artist
And a great
one
Is:
The novice
Will often lay down his tool
Or brush
Then pick up an invisible club
On the mind's table
And helplessly smash the easels and
Jade.
Whereas the vintage man
No longer hurts himself or
anyone
And keeps on
Sculpting
Light.
