I cannot stress enough the importance a mutual relationship between language and art. Artists must be skillful linguists when branding themselves and by the same token, words are almost always inspired by a medium of art.

Here's an author metamorphosing into a painter.

"An American Childhood" + Annie Dillard

+Words+
"And I wake a little more and reason, No, it is the oak leave in the sun, pale as a face. I am here now, with this my own dear family up here at this high latitude, out here at the farthest exploratory tip of this my present bewildering age. And still I break up through the kind of awareness a thousand times a day, as dolphins burst through, seas, and dive again and rise, and dive."
