Fleur

The picture of a flower in a botanical book is infor­mation; its mission ends with our knowledge. But in pure art it is a per­sonal com­mu­ni­cation. And therefore until it finds its harmony in the depth of our per­son­ality it misses the mark. We can treat exis­tence solely as a textbook fur­nishing us lessons, and we shall not be dis­ap­pointed, but we know that there its mission does not end. For in our joy in it, which is an end in itself, we feel that it is a com­mu­ni­cation, the final response of our knowing but the response of our being.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore
