The greater part of my life is perhaps
spent, but I
know full well that youth may come with age. Until now, I used to smile
at the idea of presenting myself, in spite of Claudine´s pleas.
A woman´s
tenderness is
without boundaries. After the anguish, as many
will have known it, caused by the outside world but more still yet by
one´s inner self, I have now discovered the peace that bring forsaking
essential and yet useless things. What to do with such happiness, if
not express it somehow, when one has a certain capability of doing so.
This has been my strongest desire all my life, and I owe it to the
Masters, those who to serve I would have given up my own labours.
Rembrandt the unequalled,
who gave birth from translucent shadows flesh
created out of love and yet mortal. Mozart, marvellous in his
adolescence as well as in his requiem. The airy Tiepolo who was al
grace, and whose hand was conducted by a magic brush. Paul Valery whose
bright spirit lit up my youth.
