here
within this thick black pelt, your strongest gaze
will be absorbed & utterly disappear:
just as a raving madman, when nothing else
can ease him, charges into his dark night
howling, pounds on the padded wall, and feels
the rage being taken in and pacified
-Rilke, Black Cat

I never thought I’d say this, but a contemporary artist has improved on Titian
