A government studio, a life free from care, amid surroundings, every inch of which breathed Art and Poetry — no wonder, all of us, while toiling along the path of life, would look back upon these years with indescribable delight. These are the years when we dare anything, and 1 was no excep- tion to the rule, trying my hand at different branches of Art and in different mediums. These are the years responsible for our most ambitious attempts, prompted only by lofty ideals. But the day comes, and it comes soon, when we recognize the wide gap between ambition, which would carry us beyond our dreams, and realization, the fruit of sincere efforts. Our attitude toward Art and Life becomes more humble and if today I venture to show my work, I show it in that spirit. Many of us share these feelings; few are able to give them more appropriate expression than in the following lines, which are so beautiful and true, that I may call them the guiding thought of my life : “then it is better to die, struggling for the Supreme, than perish in the dust among the Commonplace."
