art

from the depth of sorrow one will only find... more sorrow.

Why do people think

Art must come from sorrow

As if they need to borrow

Reason to go over the brink

To find oneself

Is true art

Or at least a start

Where in the black

Without a map

Can you

Author's Note

Okay, beautiful things come out of sorrow. Beauty comes from the light side of life as well.

Romanticism sprang during the grandest English era. Almost all of the product of art during that period depicts celebration not only of and with nature, but also of individualism. This movement portrayed a strong strain of the reality that there is really beauty in the light side of life as much as there is ugliness, and it goes the same with darkness and or sorrow...Let me share something from Landred Vhael the most brilliant mind I've ever encountered from here :

"Pain is a powerful muse. Perhaps as writers we have a tendency to cling all the more to it...despite knowing that we shouldn't. Still there's catharsis to be found in our way."

How your thoughts flow like rivers of inspiration, enchanting the muses of beauty and love and wonder to rise up within us and sing such light into the world. May we find the seeds of beauty bringing forth gardens of life for us always.

beauty does come out of the light side of life, but it seems easier to write sad than happy...don't know why that is...but i like this statement, and the way you put your words together.

very true! I wonder why that is?

[Belle]

If I would to ask, when I am happy I go out and celebrate the bliss with the world, but I easily withdraw myself from it when in sorrow because I trust the advise of silence, the strength I draw from solitude and I trust the safety of the shelter that my paper and pen is offering more than those from the other...perhaps, other writers have similar reason, if not the same...

You have to pardon me both, I couldn't help not to join your conversation --beautiful conversation...

I think art comes when theres overwhelming emotion. Whether that be sorrow or jubilation. I just think maybe this world brings more sorrow than jubilation. Not often im overwhelmed by joy but I am often overwhelmed by hurt and hatred... and not always mine but that surrounding us. Nothing better than to turn that into something overwhelming in its beauty... like a piece of art
