The expression on this face
So beautifully reminds us
That Samuel Clemens’ humor flowed
From a deep abiding sadness
With the injustices and thoughtlessness
Of his world, in hopes of drawing attention
To its cruelty.
I am reminded, seeing this,
Of a favorite Eckhart Tolle quote:
“The purpose of all great art
Is to serve as a portal to the sacred.”
