What does it mean to make art in the modern world? Is it for public consumption or is it simply for personal expression and achievement? More importantly what happens when we grind down the time we should be setting aside for creativity? All these questions and more are tackled in this weeks poem: The Panther by Rainer Maria Rilke.
