THERE IS NOTHING TO BE SAID
THAT A DREAM HAS NOT ALREADY DREAMT
And Night?
It's not questionable the colour. It has
a whole flock
coronas of motley entities
oneness of its variety
Far reaches the memory. Faithful
to the Light of Pre-Beginning. Given promise
And lo! how from the black hole
is put aside the shirt of Being. Starts the charm
Being, inquisitive, is not afraid of night
And its colour
the sum of all colours of the daylight
to a savant is to tranquillity similar
by no means to an end

Sergei Rachmaninoff is related as saying that he saw in an exhibition in Paris a black copy of Arnold Böcklin's "Isle of the Dead". Describing also his later disappointment with the original, upon which he would have never composed, as he put it, his namesake symphony.
