Aby Warburg: Mnemosyne-Atlas (1924-29)
Annahme des Kunstwerkes als etwas in Richtung
auf den Zuschauer feindlich Bewegtes
– Aby Warburg (27 August, 1890)
[Theory of the work of art as something hostile
moving towards the beholder]
I wish that I were dead
sometimes
It pops into my head
in just those words
I wish that I were dead
Daunting lists of jobs to do
small pettifogging duties
People whose persistence
wears you down
break up the thought
A hard thing to acknowledge
but someday it will happen
The self that sees
itself
creates a third
but is that me?
