Quote
I think that one's art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows.
Note
This line suggests that art grows inwardly and leans toward an internal standard rather than an external one. It describes growth as silent and subtle and refrains from attempting to explain the process. Because it is brief, the meaning can widen, and the plant metaphor gently opens space for reading growth as a quiet, ongoing unfolding rather than something repeatedly examined.
