Jane Wolfe Diary Entry

Thursday, 9 June 1921

 

     

 

A.M.

 

I have been thinking of the R.[a] H.[oor] K.[huit] vibration. Some pictures one sees and stands apart from. Others one sees and there seems to be a link—an electric light wire, say.

 

Again there is a decided response—such as last night—without the picture.—(What is the colour? There must be one.)

 

All vibration has colour and sound also. The musician gets the harmonies of sound; the artist, the colours; the poet, the rhythm of words—the great poet, all three. Is this why poetry is the greater art?

 

 

 

P.M.

 

I have felt unusually well all day. About four o’clock I lay down and consciously applied “I am the strength, force, vigour”. Call down fire from heaven? Why not strength when one has need? A reservoir one can always tap, I am sure, when one knows how.
