This painting sent me to the hospital. I was up all night and suffered an anxiety attack thinking of the end of my relationship with a girl I'd fallen miserably in love with. She was the first and the only as of now who I'd ever felt that way for. I used the piece itself as a way of trying to fit text into my composition. "Are you honest," "are you fare," and "I love you not," appear from Shakespeare's Hamlet. These lines are also used in "Hair on the Head of John the Baptist", a song by Saltillo, which I'd been listening to a lot at the time. The other four lines of text are the English translation of Anna Ahkmatova's "White Night", reading as follows: "That life is a cursed Hell, I've got drunk on your voice in the doorway, I was sure you'd come back."
