In 'Ten Windows: How Great Poems Transform the World' by Jane Hirshfield, each page has atleast a line or two that start off a nice thought process not just in the book but a parallel one in the reader's mind too. For example, 'Every good work of art holds something that was not quite knowable before is own existence'. Here I want to think of the past works I liked and see what it introduced to the art world and in the future too, I want to keep that in mind. Just few pages before trying to define art, she moved to skill and then from articulate to artificial.
These kind of meanderings bring me to a full halt and think to have a conversation with me, myself and Art.
For their aptness, the poems - imagine time before Bach's music. Milosz's "My Faithful Mother Tongue' with reference to who's the saviour and the saved between the poet and language are note worthy.
