Note by the artist: I don't know
whether it is because I am an artist; I feel it very much
since the market disappeared from Mandalay. Earlier, it
was a very famous market, but now it's no more. I think
to myself 'There is an end to everything'. I don't know
why this thought keeps coming back to my mind over and
over again. Oh! Now I know, although in its place new
buildings are going up, it is the beauty of the original
buildings and scenery that effected my mind with
obsession. Just see how hard it is for an artist to drive
out or forget his most craved artistic beauties. |
