Max Beckmann Journey on the Fish 1933
…On the table gaily set, behold, within the dish,
the fishes’ queer countenance.
Fish are mute … so one thought. Who knows?
Is there not a place where the language of the fish,
in their absence, is at last in common parlance?…—
Rainer Maria Rilke, from “The Sonnets to Orpheus,” 1922
