 'La Jetee', [see above linked page] was influenced by,Melville's
'le silence de la mer'...

The 'Silence of the Sea'...[1949].

So, have other, French-influenced, artists used this , 'Symbolism?'....

Rumi

You know what love is?
It is all kindness, generosity.
Disharmony prevails when
You confuse lust with love, while
The distance between the two
Is endless.
– Rumi

 

Watching, You, Watching,Me

“Even though you try to put people under control, it is impossible. You cannot do it. The best way to control people is to encourage them to be mischievous. Then they will be in control in a wider sense. To give your sheep or cow a large spacious meadow is the way to control him. So it is with people: first let them do what they want, and watch them. This is the best policy. To ignore them is not good. That is the worst policy. The second worst is trying to control them. The best one is to watch them, just to watch them, without trying to control them.”
