The line

« ô rage ! ô désespoir ! ô vieillesse ennemie ! »

The power of the line
           in all art
whether music
           or painting
or sculpture
           or poetry
the line that slows
           as it thickens and ages
or
   speeds
as it
      thins
the line is how things
           shape up in time
and some lines
           are invisible
to the naked eye
           or beyond the imagination
