What a scream... The Scream is back!

News outlets around the world are reporting that Edvard Munch's paintings "The Scream" and "Madonna" have been recovered.

I was at the Munch museum in Oslo not two weeks ago. You'd think the police could have worked a little faster! I'm pissed... (tee hee)

Note the hand of the cloud monster in the background as it attempts to pull itself up and over the mountains.

Lofoten

We hear the music of the spheres:
    Earth tilts away, and the sun dips
behind the mountains earlier each day,
    rises later from the sea.

Gulls fall silent then slip
    away in the gathering dark.
Fishermen prepare seines and boats
    for the long night-days trailing
fruitful lines in the maelstrom.

Their eyes tell you that soon
    the only sunlight they will see
must reflect first off moon and snow.
