Most kiss paintings sell a fantasy.
Magritte sold a colder truth.
Look at the cloth and the total blindness.
Magritte showed total isolation.
Touching someone, but not reaching them.
Being in the tightest embrace, yet completely alone.
It drops the romantic illusion:
True loneliness isn't being on your own, it's holding someone close and remaining completely unreachable.
Why has it become such an icon for so many people?
The Lovers, René Magritte, 1928.

Aap us har cheez ko tabah kardein
Jis ka rishta mere wajood se ho.
Aap aisa kijiye ab cheen lijiye mujhse meri shanakht ka har juz
Jis se mai judta tha apne ajdaad se.
Aap aisa ki jiye ab mujhe dafana dijiye .
Mai thak tchuka is roz o shab ki musibaton se.
