My Reminiscences

The artist within us paints memories, not as faithful copies of reality, but as subjective pictures, altering sizes and perspectives to his liking. This inner gallery of altered events doesn't always match life's outward sequence. Most of this internal studio remains unseen, its purpose and destiny unknown. Who this painter is, and why he creates these images, remains a mystery.

Rabindranath Tagore
I know not who paints the pictures on memory's canvas; but whoever he may be, what he is painting are pictures; by which I mean that he is not there with his brush simply to make a faithful copy of all that is happening. He takes in and leaves out according to his taste. He makes many a big thing small and small thing big. He has no compunction in putting into the background that which was to the fore, or bringing to the front that which was behind. In short he is painting pictures, and not writing history.

Thus, over Life's outward aspect passes the series of events, and within is being painted a set of pictures. The two correspond but are not one.

We do not get the leisure to view thoroughly this studio within us. Portions of it now and then catch our eye, but the greater part remains out of sight in the darkness. Why the ever-busy painter is painting; when he will have done; for what gallery his pictures are destined—who can tell?
