THE GREAT EVENT

DESCRIPTION

Canvas board, water color, black ink, acrylic. A fun happy piece painted as homage to Leonard Cohen's 'The Great Event'

It`s going to happen very soon.
The great event which will end the horror.
Which will end the sorrow.
Next Tuesday, when the sun goes down,
I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards.
This will reverse the effects of the world`s mad plunge into suffering,
For the last 200 million years.
What a lovely night that will be.
What a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again,
And the retired nightingales,
Pick up their dusty tails,
And assert the majesty of creation!
- L. Cohen
