Poetry and Art

Um ... interesting? According to NPR, Expressionist artist Edvard Munch wrote a poem on the backside of one of his most famous works, The Scream (in it he describes the eerie and dreadful encounter he had during one particular sunset). 

Here's that work: 

'The Scream' 

I was walking along the road with two friends. The Sun was 

setting — 

The Sky turned a bloody red 

And I felt a whiff of Melancholy — I stood 

Still, deathly tired — over the blue-black 

Fjord and City hung Blood and Tongues of Fire 

My Friends walked on — I remained behind 

— shivering with Anxiety. I felt the great Scream in Nature.
