The ideal would be that each "reader" could recreate the painting, the poem, or any other form of art, with his own intonations, his past, the movements of his/hers inner soul waves.

Certain lives are spelling themselves within, in which I find in myself fragmented. I know only your words, pencils of sun, those which thread between the shade and the light its mysterious side.
Through life difficulties, the flow of my brushes foams on the fine stone of your glances. The box of faces slipping into my pocket, I push life at my measure, and untie simply its cord with a voice..."
