Munirah wasn’t any less hasty in dealing with me. “You say you have a fine sensitivity towards the people. Don’t just be an orator who shouts fiery speeches in lecture halls, but hasn’t the courage to try to put them into practice! This is the time to demonstrate your artistic abilities. Put down on canvas the life of the peasant, and the ordinary man. And don’t let it be just some lifeless and pretty thing to be hung on the wall; make that painting come alive! Your poetry throbs with the message of uplifting the livelihood of the people. Let them read it. Teach them to understand your poetry.” - SAGA
