The Vintage Man

 

The

Difference

Between a good artist

And a great one

 

Is:

 

The novice

Will often lay down his tool

Or brush

 

Then pick up an invisible club

On the mind's table

 

And helplessly smash the easels and

Jade.

 

Whereas the vintage man

No longer hurts himself or anyone

 

And keeps on

Scultping

 

Light.
