In the Lives of Greek Heroes (2002)    

Artist Note: This is one of the few pieces I quote myself. I find the words as matter-of-fact today as 50 years ago, as symbols in a cave.

Photocopied wavy lines (from Dover), gel pens, Tape nib, on 10 x 16" handmade blue paper.

Text: She was too young to understand
the grave face of her father,
the absence of her mother
or why she was scared
but like invisible feathers
heat sensations tickled her feet,
rippled her legs,
and When she burned she cried.
- Glen Epstein, 1958
