The patient grief and endurance of Absence: while the tapestry woven by day stands on the frame to be unravelled by night, as the loyal wife puts off her suitors.
Painting by Rudolph von Deutsch.
"What shall I do with all the days and hours
That must be counted ere I see thy face?"
From a photograph by the Berlin Photographic Co., after a painting by R. Pötzelberger.
"Behold me, a god, what I endure from gods!
Behold, with throe on throe,
How, wasted by this woe,
I wrestle down the myriad years of Time!"
From photograph after a painting by G. Graeff.
