Ravi Varma: " And when you have finished with both, the body and its robes, when the most difficult labour is over, then you can take the evening off and sleep a fresh sleep in the knowledge of the pleasure that awaits you, when you will make their jewels. The brush must pick up the paint with some strength, because pearls need body. But when the brush leans on the canvas, then your touch must be light and sure, as pearl by pearl you festoon your woman with garlands. You let a small spot of gold touch his ear and hold up a teardrop of white. These too are the glories of our people, these make them more real, the viewer's hands are lifted in wonder and desire, wanting to touch and fearing to do the same"
Raja Raja listens. His eye is a wet and mellow white like mother-of-pearl, the eyeball like an eclipsed sun that is still ashine with reflections of the world that it pulls inside.
