Japanese painter, Tosa Mitsuoki, 1617 – 1691
If only I'd known this poem
back when Y2K was all the rage:
from Prayer #8
I'm living just as the century departs.
One feels the wind from a large leaf
that God and you and I had written on,
which turns above by hands no one knows.
One feels the radiance of a new page
on which everything could still come to be. ~ 1899
by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
from Prayers of a Young Poet
translated by Mark S. Burrows
