René Magritte, "La Clairvoyance," 1936
Make creation itself your strange subject
Involve yourself in its old mystery
Conventional wisdom blithely reject
Paint potential as actuality
Read an egg as a map of the future
Incubate it in imagination
Color your brush, carefully to suture
Beginning to end of transformation
From egg to eye to mind to cool canvas
Let an idea first wait and then take wing
Hide the glide from abeyance to fullness
Then hear what has become silently sing
Conjure a bird from an egg with your mind
Leave the rusty cage of time far behind
