Original artwork description
"The Intolerable Makes Life Worthwhile" - oil on canvas, 15 x 30. Ready to hang.
"We were heading toward that which makes life intolerable, feeling the only thing that makes it worthwhile. That was joy." It has little to do with pleasure (though holding one's love's feet is a pleasure; and having one's feet held by one's love is a pleasure). It has to do with this other thing Smith describes perfectly, if a bit fiddly, which seems perfect given it is a bit fiddly : the intolerable makes life worthwhile. How is that so? - ROSS GAY, The Book of Delights
