Knowing nature Vs. Being nature

In an impressionist painting
the tiny dots of individual color
remain unblended
so that the human eye can learn
to form the shapes on its own accord
so that each person sees the shape
slightly different
but the painter's message is not lost,
just open for further interpretation.

In a novel
the editors strive to show each character
clearly
so that there is no confusion regarding
the nature of the man or woman
so that good and bad meet to form
a developing plot and clear moral,
a succinct message,
the only things really open for interpretation
are the individual
words.
