The reason art often resonates with a person is that it expresses a feeling better than most could do all on their own. When someone we consider to be sublime does this it give the work real meaning. But consider for a moment if someone who felt nothing, who expressed nothing, created exquisite beauty before your eyes, better than you could yourself. Add to that your only desire in life being to create something beautiful and memorable to just one single person. The moment you realized that your best would always be lesser than their mere idle amusement...Well that moment would crush you.
It crushed me last night.
