நீ, தொலைதூரமுற்றாய் என
நான் நினைத்தேன் -
இக்கணம் என் வாசலில் நின்றிருக்கிறாய்.
என்னைப் பார்-
நீ என்னிலிருந்து அகன்ற தருணமுதல்
நானும்கூட வாழ்வாகவும் மரணமாகவும் மாறியுள்ளேன்.
மாய்ந்த மழலையை
நான் பூமியுள் கிடத்தியிருக்கிறேன்,
உயிர்த்திருக்கும் ஒன்றை
நான் மறைத்தொளித்திருக்கிறேன்.
நீ திரும்பிவரும்போது
மேஜையில் அமைய நான் சமைத்தவையெல்லாம்
இப்போது விரிசலடைந்துள்ளது,
இனி என்னால் மின்சார ஒளியை பெறவியலாது-
ஆயினும் வந்து புசி ,
ஒளிவிஞ்சியிருக்கும் மேஜைத்துணி மேல்,
அந்திமங்கும் வேளையில்
சூரியன் வீடுமுழுமையையும் ஒளிவண்ணமாக்குகிறது.
எப்பொழுதும்,
அந்திமங்கும் வேளையில்
ஐந்து வருடங்களுக்குமுன் கண்டதை போலவே
உன்னைக் காண்கிறேன்,
விடுத்து போகும் எத்தனிப்பும்,
என்னிடமே மீண்டும் சங்கமிக்கும் ஆவலுறலும்,
ஒருதனித்த காலடி-பாவுதலில் நிகழ்கிறது.
சற்றுமுன்புதான் மரித்த மழலையைப் புதைத்தோம்
ஆனால், நீ அறிந்திராத
உயிர்த்திருக்கும் மழைலையை
நான் இன்னமும் மறைவாய் ஒளித்திருக்கிறேன்.

Then you understand the last word;

Are they not this one word?

Just as a musician
loves music and not nightingales,
and a poet loves
poetry and not sunsets,
a painter is not primarily
a person who responds
to figures and landscapes.
He is primarily one who loves pictures.

that talks to the masses,
when you have nothing to say to them.

I explain to their children.

I remember that all through history,
the way of truth and love has always won.

But in the end they always fall. Think of it always.

I've been very near death.
And you can't imagine the wild elation

it's the sudden glimpse
of the absurdity of life that brings it-
when one meets death face to face.
André Malraux-
Between eighteen and twenty,
life is like an exchange

Most men buy nothing..................

The great mystery is not
that we should have been
thrown down here at random
between the profusion of matter
and that of the stars;
it is that from our very prison
we should draw,
from our own selves,
images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.
to take a calculated risk - and to act......................
Often the difference between
a successful person
and a failure is not
one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that
one has to bet on one's ideas,
to take a calculated risk - and to act.

The crucial discovery was made that,
in order to become painting,
the universe seen by
the artist had to become a
private one created by himself..........

The men of my race
arrive on wingless,
eyeless ships.
-André Malraux-
The thrill of creation which we experience
which we experience
when we see a masterpiece
is not unlike the feeling
of the artist who created it;
such a work is a fragment of the world
which he has annexed
and which belongs to him alone.
-Andre Malraux -
Art is a revolt against fate.
All art is a revolt against man's fate.

The attempt to force human beings
to despise themselves

War

peace mysteriously.

The great mystery is not
that we should have been

from our own selves,
images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.

Genius is not perfected,
