Mai in vita mia Dimenticherò la tua presenza. Tu mi hai presa quando ero spezzata E mi hai riparata Su questa terra troppo piccola Dove potrei mai vo… - Frida Kahlo

In: Chapter 'My life', p. 64

I’ll try out the pencils
sharpened to the point of infinity
which always sees ahead:

Green — good warm light

Magenta — Aztec. old TLAPALI
blood of prickly pear, the
brightest and oldest

[Brown — ] color of mole, of leaves becoming
earth

[Yellow — ] madness sickness fear
part of the sun and of happiness

[Blue — ] electricity and purity love

[Black — ] nothing is black — really nothing

[Olive — ] leaves, sadness, science, the whole
of Germany is this color

[Yellow — ] more madness and mystery
all the ghosts wear
clothes of this color, or at
least their underclothes

[Dark blue — ] color of bad advertisements
and of good business

[Blue — ]distance. Tenderness
can also be this blue
blood?
