Depth of the Work Portrays Suffering and Happiness

"The artist has only to translate the sufferings and happiness

of all into the language of all and he will be universally 

understood.  As a reward for being absolutely faithful to

reality, he will achieve complete communication among men."

Albert Camus

The ballerina uses dance and the artist uses the stroke of a brush  to translate what it is they see and feel in the life surrounding them.  Without words, their expression creates a language for the world to understand.  Neither the ballerina nor the artist demand a rigid interpretation.  

Authors and poets use the stroke of a pen to share what they think, see, and imagine.  The writers demonstrate with shimmering imaginative phrases and momentum paced by the cadence of the words. The heart of the intent may be well cloaked in disguises from nature or human deception.

The ballerina, artist, author and poet intend for the spectator to eventually come to understand the deeper meaning of their work.  What lies upon the surface may be entertaining, but the depth of the work portrays the human sufferings and happiness of all.
