The first would be a melting of time. Also a ;little known fact i that Dali would sit for hours in front of his blank canvas waiting for images to form, There is also a story that he would dribble milk on his bare chest for flies to come and then he could paint.

The Persistence of Memory is about mortatlity.

Could you by any chance post the link to the painting, please

so`s we can best/ easiest assist you?

TY, D

Tex-sis... I could not place the specific painting.

I agree 100% here with H.D...it is about the incovenient rigidities

and also the subjective/ emotional flexibilities of `time`

specifically in reference to fixing memory in one`s mind..

a purported by-road or Highway even, to immortal experience/ s..

The specific work, depicts time draped, supine upon a deadened-by-`time` (note the ` please)

tree-branch..the branch..remains though time itsel fhas...melted -

or more accurately, its` instruments (perceptions) have become useless / unnecessary

though the landscape...remains -surreally it seems, due also, to the features in the painting.

The sunshine (measure of time`s passages too) see ms to mock, imho.

I`m unsure how you might prefer to put this to apoem

as I do not know your preferred genre of written work.

But I hope this very crude and miniscule, one-dimensional analysis....pallid really, is of use to you.

Having recently and more than once visited the Dali museum here, I'm always in awe of what I may have missed in a piece, yet in studying, find images within images, being his intent. HD is spot on as to what the piece (one of his most popular) is about. He managed to conceptualize at a higher level than many can, and his profundity may never be completely understood.

For Lapiz. here is one link sis.
