Sandro Botticelli
The quality of emotional attention
is what characterizes the King of Hearts.
Attention here is controlled, deep, perceptive and quiet;
it tends to penetrate
by feeling its way to the hidden meanings in a situation.
It is the attention we must bring to a great poet or artist.
That quality of attention
was needed to create those works
and when we ‘read’ them with the same attention,
the power locked in them seems to radiate back to us.
