Myopic Painter

Myopic painter Many a madman has imagined himself a general and some have even become one, the myopic decorator of Easter eggs may one day paint a church and it’s not impossible that a comet will later crash into its steeple and cry out, ‘Christ is risen’ just as you who swear you love me may once upon a time even come to love me. Mircea Dinescu translated by Adam J. Sorkin and Lidia Vianu Reprinted by permission of Bloodaxe Books from The Barbarians’ Return (2018)
