Silently

"He was one of those to whom nature has given the desire without the power of artistic expression. He had been a dumb poet from his cradle. He might have been so to his grave, and carried unuttered into the darkness a treasure of new and sensational song............"
From "The Napoleon of Notting Hill" by G. K. Chesterton

Always felt that statement described me.
Aah... So lucky are the artists. The rest of us struggle silently.

  1. As if that was all
    U have also the legions posing themselves as artists
    "He had a lot to say.
    He had a lot of nothing to say.
    We'll miss him
    Standing above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud.
    We'll miss him
    But there's no way to recall
    what it was that you had said to me
    like I care at all
    But he was so loud"
