The Dancers

Dance seems a natural and graceful metaphor for human activities
and dancers arrive unbidden
even in paintings occupied with other matters.
When figures become storytellers
the slightest nuance of position or movement is significant
speaking with a silent but clear voice
simultaneously revealing and mysterious
