One of the first paintings Jami purchased of mine was this image of Salome with the head of John the Baptist. The piano refers to Strauss's Salome and cues the viewer in that this is more than the Biblical story. Salome adds new meaning to knowing in the Biblical sense. This Biblical sense of proportion is at once outlandish, outrageous, egregious, and an affront and a back and a side. In an aside the woman is at once Lotte Lenya and the head would be Strauss's own. I don't mean to stress Strauss. Offenbach Overbeck and Karl Orff yer dogs. Off to children's choir the other day I saw the chorister toten kinder lieder, lending tender kentish litters, coating lint or leading kintners, kiting tendori lantern condors. I was as astonished as anyone at our extinguished host hoisting hottentottentettertots upon the briny deeps: unfathomable.
