<p>Dean, between you and me, because no-one else seems to be around !<br>

Strange with this non reaction to your: "The art of seeing". It can either be because people can recognize any "art of seeing" or they have not seen the double meaning. Their problem.<br>

Never mind, let's just enjoy it :)</p>

<p>hi Anders...</p>

<p>I am reminded, too, of the fact of Beethoven's profound deafness:</p>

<blockquote>

<p>he wrote his <a title="Heiligenstadt Testament" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heiligenstadt_Testament">Heiligenstadt Testament</a>, a letter to his brothers which records his thoughts of suicide due to his growing deafness and records his resolution to continue living for and through his art. Over time, his hearing loss became profound: at the end of the premiere of his <a title="Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven)" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._9_(Beethoven)">Ninth Symphony</a> in 1824, he had to be turned around to see the tumultuous applause of the audience because he could hear neither it nor the orchestra. </p>

</blockquote>

<p>although he discovered the loss quite early on (he was only 28 when it began), he was quite determined to fulfill his artistic aims... <br /> <br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven#Loss_of_hearing<br /> <br /> and, thank you for your comments!</p>
