The retrospective view at the end of the year should perhaps be taken more seriously than before.
It's not such a harmless pass-time to bring children into the world. Bluish across the horizon, phosphorescing sheet-lightning. I, as actor, with folded arms at the centre of the circle: 'Let it lightning!' The pose, meanwhile, didn't last long. One becomes in the course of one day, for a while, a bit larger, and then a bit smaller again. Something of the spirit of Joseph the carpenter is also appropriate to such a small-scale patriarch. Something of the sublimity, something of the pretension, something of the bizarre, something of the spiritual, all lying under lock and key. --Paul Klee tr.
