The Artists' Sentence

[Tiger the Lion]

.
Hi Tiger,
really like the first two verses (and Beautiful as a noun works) but then it seems to lose steam. And trying to get past s3 without thinking of Leonard Cohen is impossible, for me


The Artists' Sentence


I am convicted
of knowing a Beautiful
my pencils cannot sketch,

nor pigments paint
and simple words embarrass themselves
pretending to know;


you could end here, though it's a bit weak. Any way of returning to the idea of conviction/sentence? Not so much interested in the muse, but how the Artist is reacting to this situation.


Best, Knot

Thanks Knot. Leonard Cohen is a legit problem that simply evaded me. It's obvious once pointed out. Returning to the conviction is also worth exploring. The 2 instances of knowing/know are also bugging me. I think I may have tried "discern" at some point and may go back to it. I'm going to do some juggling and return. Thanks again.
