Analysis of Chagall's "Liberation"

Tonight the artist paints.

Both the sun & moon stand together in the sky,
and the scientist abandons his work
to open his shutters
and revel in Nature's defiance.

Tonight the town lights their candles early.

A housewife watches the crowds in the street
dancing past her doorway;
she smiles, content that inside
the pots are beginning to boil over.

Tonight the street fiddler's ghost awakes.
