Beauty of age

Return to the New Objectivity:

The beautiful colors of the flowers are faded - The fragrance is no longer in the air. The bees remain in their floor. The call to "multiply you" goes unheard. The wonderful noise is history. The growth is at the end.

Age is no beloved reality. And yet recognize who loves life to the end: The transparent beauty of age. The structure of the character. The authentic personality of the artist.

The artist would have longed for the ages: It would be wrong to suspect would be. But she has the age wrested his own beauty: With her art. The loved her, for she lived - against all odds.
