SPACE, outside ourselves, invades and ravishes things:
If you want to achieve the existence of a tree,
invest it with inner space, this space
that was its being in you. Surround it with
compulsions,
it knows no bounds, and only
really becomes a tree,
if it takes its place in the
heart of your renunciation.
RAINER MARIA RILKE
what it means according to Poetics of Space:
"surround it with compulsions" first is an obligation to draw it, obey simple rules of perception be objecitve.
"It knows no bounds" its limits are mere accidents. It needs you to give it your super abundant images, nurtured in your intimate space. The tree and its dreamer can GROW TALL.
