In the southern light
of Renaissance Italy
the monk Cusa heard
his brothers looking
at the same image looking
at him. The one Face
in the same space looked
both ways. Coincidentia
oppositorium.
The invisible
Face shining in the mist of
faith. Science to him.
In the northern mist
of a New England Fall a
mix of copper and
tarnished silver. Klee:
art makes the invisible
visible. Whose Face?
