Beauty was a picture bird
which perched upon a tree;
If he had wings, he swore he would,
he would fly away with thee,
Yet he had none, no wings you see,
save those of memory,
And so he paints, he paints a scene
with paints that never flee.

What do I think? Steppenwolf (Hermann Hesse), She (Henry Rygard), and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (James Joyce), alongside a bit of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Victor Hugo).

The artist's nature, is well described; that state is something which, in a way... its not exactly optimistic; but it can be taken in that light... In that:

"Oh boy, there (s)he goes again, making a living. (S)he'll come back... they've got nowhere to go, these artists..."

This work also reminds me of a work by ~DeeTay. Thanks for that. Cheers :)
