“The artist is a seer, a becomer.
How would [s]he recount what happened to [her], or what [she] imagines,
since [she] is a shadow?

[S]he has seen something in life that is too great, too unbearable also,

and the mutual embrace of life with what threatens it,

so that the corner of nature or districts of the town that [s]he sees,
along with their characters, accede to a vision that, through them,
composes the percepts of that life, of that moment,

shattering lived perceptions into a sort of cubism, a sort of simultaneism,
of harsh or crepuscular light, of purple or blue,
which have no other object or subject than themselves.” (171)
