revisiting saint-saens

don't you ever wonder what kind of person he is? he must have been capable of such tender feelings. or how could he have written something like the swan? no matter how overplayed this piece is, it never fails to rouse the deepest awe in me.and he must have been a very interesting person, judging from the colourful aquarium. i want to know him in person! (sorry about sounding so cheezy)

there you have it, the difference between the two different kinds of creations, the sciences and the arts. the arts are so exposing. you have so much of you in it. (like wilde discussed). you only need to look at or listen to a piece to know the persona of its creator. it's like all the feelings channeled to you through broadband connection. but science. you can read so many papers by the researcher and not know who he's like. he would be this entity in your mind, without a face, without a character. the only thing you get to know after all is if he is clever. so different.
