of spirit

This image shows a blackout poetry piece with a header that says "FOUR QUARTETS" and a page number of 121. The words are mostly uncovered, expect for the ones that are circled in black marker, which, when read exclusively, reveal a poetic message. The circles are connected to each other by black lines that are drawn from one to another.

of spirit

of spirit;
the other
movement
its metalled
past
have
the clematis
Finger
on us
After
the light
the turning world.
Only
that which is
pattern
Can
reach
the violin
Or say
the beginning
Before
Words
Under
Decay
Shrieking

  • Next you simply do not understand innocence
  • Previous Fire torch
