Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Anatoly Moshchelkov Shakespeare. Sonnet 46  Paper, pointed pen, brush, ink, lettering, 44x59 cm, 2003 Sonnet 46 Original Text Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war How to divide the conquest of thy sight; Mine eye my heart thy picture’s sight would bar; My heart mine eye the freedom of that right. My heart doth plead that thou in him dost lie, A closet never pierced with crystal eyes; But the defendant doth that plea deny, And says in him thy fair appearance lies. To ‘cide this title is empanellèd A quest of thoughts, all tenants to the heart, And by their verdict is determinèd The clear eye’s moiety and the dear heart’s part:   As thus—mine eye’s due is thy outward part,   And my heart’s right, thy inward love of heart.
Anatoly Moshchelkov Shakespeare. Sonnet 28  Paper, etching, pointed pen, ink, 24х36 cm, 2003 SONNET 28 How can I then return in happy plight, That am debarr’d the benefit of rest? When day’s oppression is not eased by night, But day by night, and night by day, oppress’d? And each, though enemies to either’s reign, Do in consent shake hands to torture me; The one by toil, the other to complain How far I toil, still farther off from thee. I tell the day, to please them thou art bright And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven: So flatter I the swart-complexion’d night, When sparkling stars twire not thou gild’st the even.    But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer    And night doth nightly make grief’s strength seem stronger.
Otagaki Rengetsu (1791～1875)
