“Why have you been so blind?
Why have you never seen?
The slave and master in one skin
Is all your history, no more, no less,
Confess! This is what you've been.”

Millet is describing his development as artist to his friend and later biographer fr:Alfred_Sensier

Apologia
The Flower of Old Japan and Other Poems (1907), Forest of Wild Thyme
Context: Critics, you have been so kind,
I would not have you think me blind
To all the wisdom that you preach;
Yet before I strictlier run
In straiter lines of chiselled speech,
Give me one more hour, just one
Hour to hunt the fairy gleam
That flutters through this childish dream.

Song lyrics, Tigerlily (1995), Carnival

Siempre has sido lista. Has visto lo malo de las gentes a cien leguas... Pero los hijos son los hijos. Ahora estás ciega.
