Artists, musicians, and poets

How does the artist show the passage of time, show the effect of pain, of love, of loss, of lust, of hunger, and even peaceful oblivion? The Scream? Jagged splashes of vivid pigments fading into oxy blurs. The composer has a direct link to his listener through the learned connections between melody, harmonic progressions, rhythmic and tempo patterns to lead his listener through time from chaotic crashes to the serene high-pedal note of muted strings into oblivion. The poet, however, can best both the artist and the composer by skillfully combining words of the reader’s language into patterns that immediately convey the feelings and emotions of the poet. A fortunate few can combine all these talents!
