In art, there are
no rules, only ways,
Pearl of Great Price |
|
|
 |
|
|
for it is that Master Artisan, the humble sea mollusk,
who crafts both the shell that protects it from the sea,
and turns that which causes inner torment into an object
of lustrous beauty. This Muse in high relief stands
serene, buffeted by breaking waves upon a hard reached shore.
The Dragon, symbolic of worldly illusions and power,
has surrendered to her the pearl of Heavenly Knowledge,
that one Pearl of Great Price."
