4. 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 Isensed an
infinite scream
passing through
nature. - The Scream
Edvard March
1893
