Der Häuserbogen oder Inselstadt (The House-Bend, or Island City): Egon Schiele, 1915 (Sammlung Leopold, Wien)
Someone has frozen the many-storeyed houses
Under this planetarium
A brilliant silence like a foghorn
A perfect frieze before the complications
Arrive with dialogue and
The olives of daily life
This brown Barcelona paper
Thrown onto the blue stone of the day
Makes everyone stop leaving
Through the light in a glass of wine you see them
Under the hot sky of the glacier
Placing their bets then boarding the funeral train
Fenster (Windows): Egon Schiele, 1914 (Österreichische Galerie, Wien)
TC: Le dimanche de Pâques (Easter Sunday), Paris, April 1966, from The Sand Burg, 1966
