Painting in background (Portrait of Mathilde) by Richard Gerstl
»Mittwoch 24. Juli, des Jahres, in dem ich solche / Bilder zeichnete: Ich selber!!!! / fertig!!! / Kein Strich mehr!!!!!! Ich selber / habs gesagt!!! Habtschi!!!«
»Wednesday, 24 July of the year, when I used / to draw like that: I myself!!!! / finished!!! / No line any more!!!!!! I confessed it / myself!!! Achoo!!!«
SCHÖN = Beautiful = BELLO
BERG = Mountain = MONTE
This is why the postcards state MONTEBELLO on them!
Handmade stamps with 1000 kisses to start the day for Gertrud
Requiem (1923) (for Mathilde)
You can never pass away,
for you have become an idea.
Now you live in memory,
that holds you not long, in its brevity,
You sink, it passes you on,
There to where all ideas reside
And the feelings that poses us:
In the treasure chamber of humanity
Which no key of the everyday can lock.
[ … ]
if one can die--
and that is hard--
the n one can also live
What are other ways to show people that you love them?
