HOW DO I LOVE THEE?, 2017 Drawing Marker on paper 40 x I have transcripted three poems several times alongside the work surface by using Morse codes. The time when they were used is the time of discovery of romantic love. A part of person's faceis seen while floating in the water looking up to the water surface and sun shining through. Is the person drowning while dying from romantic love? „How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and beadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! – and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.“ „How do I love thee?“ by Elisabeth Barrett Browning „Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And Summer's lease hath all too short a date: Summertime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd: But the eternal Summer shall not fade Nor love possession oft hat fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: Lo long as men can breath, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.“ Sonnet No. 18 by William Shakespeare „Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddendly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door, 'Tis some visitor',I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door- Only this, and nothing more'.“ „Raven“ by Edgar Alan Poe
