Abstract - Reading Paul Klee (14. History)


14. History


history
was written in text
stored in
Noah's Ark
drifted along
the river
of time
anchored
at every
beginning of
fairy-
tales

  1. The imagery in this poem is wonderful. The story of Noah's Ark tells us of the effort to save each of the world's species, gathering them into the ark. It's a wonderful idea to have the text of history stored there and drifting also.

  2. Thanks PhotoDiction.
    Noah's Ark certainly is one of most fascinating stories of history and mythology. What was also in my mind was Liu Xiaobo's words: Life starts with music, ends with music. That's why I wrote "anchored at every beginning of fairytales" - life continues.
