Tree of Life (1905) and Stoclet Frieze Knight (ca 1910) by Gustav Klimt.
Fisches Nachtgesang by Christian Morgenstern. Published in Galgenlieder, 1905.
The title translates to “Fish’s Nightsong”. The poem consists of alternating lines of macrons and breves, the marks of scansion in Latin and Greek poetry, reimagined as both the shimmering scales of a sleeping fish and musical notations.
