Transcription:
THE PORTRAIT OF THE SILENT PALE GIRL.
AN EFFUSION OF MY LOVE, – YES.
I LOVED EVERYTHING. THE GIRL CAME, –
I FOUND HER FACE,
HER UNCONCIOUS
HER WORKER’S HANDS,
I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT HER.
I HAD TO DEPICT HER,
BECAUSE OF HER GAZE AND HER CLOSENESS TO ME. –
NOW SHE IS GONE,
NOW I ENCOUNTER HER BODY.
ESchiele. 1910.
