THE MASTER AND THE PUPIL

Why is it
that every work by Schiele
is imprinted with the
owner's seal by Death,
and that every painting of Klimt
is imprinted with Life, if
only melancholy
in its approaching ending,
yet surviving?
In the master we have Life,
Life before the touch of Death
has poisoned the blood,
in the great follower
we have its end,
death overcoming the watching eyes
burning with decay.
Would twice the years have liberated
art from the erasure
of its mortal creator?
