To commemorate today's sale of The Scream for $119.9 million, here is Edvard Munch's
accompanying poem:
"I was walking along a path with two
friends—the sun was setting—suddenly the sky turned blood red—I paused, feeling
exhausted, and leaned on the fence—there was blood and tongues of fire above
the blue-black fjord and the city—my friends walked on, and I stood there
trembling with anxiety—and I sensed an infinite scream passing through
nature."
