I wait and then she comes
and simply walks past

"I look.
I look at the white sky.

:39:22
"I look at the grey-blue clouds.
I look at the bloody sun.

:39:28

"I look at the high buildings.
:39:37
"I look at the thousand windows,
At the distant church spire.

:39:43
"So this is the world.
So this is the home of mankind.

"The grey-blue clouds gather.
The sun disappears.

"I look at well-dressed gentlemen.
I look at smiling ladies.

"I look at leaning horses
and the grey-blue clouds grow heavy.

listed in the catalogue
under the title

:40:38
Studies for a Series on Love.

I placed the paintings together
and it was as though

:40:45
each painting was connected
to the others.

:40:50
Then there came a tone, a musical tone
linking the pictures together.
