Description

Dem Bürger fliegt vom spitzen Kopf der Hut,
in allen Lüften hallt es wie Geschrei.
Dachdecker stürzen ab und gehn entzwei
und an den Küsten - liest man - steigt die Flut.

Der Sturm ist da, die wilden Meere hupfen
an Land, um dicke Dämme zu zerdrücken.
Die meisten Menschen haben einen Schnupfen.
Die Eisenbahnen fallen von den Brücken.

(Jakob van Hoddis, 'Weltende';)


'World's End'. There are English translations out there, if you want to know what the poem says : )

This is a drypoint etching for arts class. I've never done anything like it before and I'm really fascinated with the technique :) It was lots of fun!

This came out really well. O.O The composition flows, and the style is neat. I like the way you structured the guy's face. I've never heard of dry-point etching before, but it looks very solid.
