      THE PAINTER GOING BLIND

      As he worked on this painting
      the presentement of the possibility

      of going blind in the right eye.
      He was to discover himself

      through someone else
      every year or few years

      by the experience of painting
      this picture off and on

      for the rest of his life
      to discover who he was

      and to show it.
