is a noble Aryan ambition;
to draw, to sketch, to acquaint
myself with fame in the artistic tradition.
I will claim every valley and mountain,
forest, river and the seven seas.
Watch out for my name. Achtung!
There is nothing I will not seize
and frame in watercolour.
My reputation will survive
centuries of time. My valour
will be remembered, kept alive.
I will stand forever in art history
beside Pissarro, Chagall, Modigliani.
