The Saga of Amethyst Poetry / Part Seven: Painting Poetics / 'Writings' as 'Paintings'

  Painting and Writing, link: The Ragged Writings of Everland can be compared with an artist's paintings. Just as the strokes and colours of a particular painting produce a certain emotional effect in us, in its communicating without words, so a piece of writing communicating in seemingly unintelligible words, in words within words, can have a similar pleasurable effect on us, also. Beauty can be as much in the sound of a run of words, as in the sight of a play of colours in an abstract painting. But like everything else which affects our consciousness, we need to learn to become conscious of such a thing, lest it pass us by.
