These pictures are moods
impressions of the Life of the Soul which
together represent a Progression
in the Struggle between Man
and Woman which is called Love –
– From its Onset when it
is nearly rejected (3 pictures) – thereafter Picture No –
The Kiss – Love and Agony
– where the Struggle as such has Begun –
Picture No – Woman in a state of
surrender – where she acquires the afflicted beauty
of a Madonna –
Mystery is from
an entire Progression gathered in one
– Woman who in
her Diversity is
a Mystery to Man –
Woman who is simultaneously Saint
– Whore and unhappily devoted

No 4 The Sick atmosphere in nature
appears to him as a great Scream – where
blood-red Clouds are like dripping Blood
