A writer, artist, poet, musician, playwright, or any other creator is often credited with bringing about a certain work of character, or even a style, movement, or social state of affairs - and in a sense this can be true, as a created work has the tendency of reinforcing a certain pattern or reality by giving shape to it and allowing for a reference of it, which produces replicas of it, amplifying it - but these figures are better conceptualized as mediums. The expressions that they send out are realities that need to be expressed, through the transformation of matter with technique, so as to reveal it to the senses of other subjects, which assent to it if they find the reality within themselves.
This transformation of matter, and the sympathetic apprehension of it, spread of it, and suspension of it through repetition of its forms, is the animation of a given reality, which takes on a life of its own that discharges itself to maintain itself. It is revealed to subjects in the medium of creator and audience.
So then life, as it expresses itself, alters its environment, which changes its expressions in turn.
