WORK OF ART

What a work of art is all about is a sense of delight. Touch here, touch 
there, delight. It is an appreciation of things as they are and of what one 
is -- which produces an enormous spark. Something happens -- clicks -- and 
the poet writes poems, the painter paints pictures, the musician composes 
music.
