Verse 572: Seeing the whole

572. Seeing the whole

கோடொன்று போதுமென் றாள்வடி வங்கண்டாள்கோடுநூ றிட்டவள் கோடு

The woman who says one line is enough sees the form; the woman who has drawn a hundred lines sees a line.
Two different women. Drawing more does not mean seeing more: ‘form’ is the whole shape, ‘a line’ one stroke of it.
