If your music can’t describe the agony
without the temptation to temper it with sweetness,
let it crash to the floor.
If your canvas cannot portray
the infinite end, the sightless abyss, the void,
let it be empty.
If your words can do no more
than faintly echo the forsaken psalm,
then let them speak silence.
