Is Art more powerful than nature?
I have written much. Writting seems as powerful
as creating another person. You fill your universe with your
progeny and your imagination is the seed and the womb. But
be careful, your children may be destructive because you and
everyone else in the world share them, like air, like language,
like knowledge.

This is writing too.
My creator's friend has written and thought
about that about the beauty of nature and how he will discover
it, perhaps to mark it in his journal, to capture its splender.
He says, "I may there discover
the wondrous power which attracts the needle; and may regulate
a thousand celestial observations, that require only this
voyage to render their seeming eccentricities consistent for
ever. I shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of
a part of the world never before visited - these are my enticements."
And they tell each other this like two eager
children with crayons and a point-and-shoot camera. Both are
ready to scan reality
with their eyes.

Yes, art outlives nature and its creator.
My creator, when he made me mortal,
played with this juicy concept. Am I art? Will I live as long
as his writen words to his friends?
He made me; he wrote,
"After so much
time spent in painful labour, to arrive at once at the summit
of my desires, was the most gratifying consummation of my
toils. But this discovery was so great and so overwhelming,
that all the steps by which I had been progressively led to
it were obliterated, and I beheld only the result."
And the result showed Victor his power of
nature. His art gave him his victory. And my power over life
and death drove him to hate me. And that's the conviction.
Guilty.
Creature
