Sam I Am

Vladamir: Dumb!  Since when?
Pozzo:  Have you not done tomenting me with your accursed time!  It's abominable!  When!  When!  One day, is that not enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you?  They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.

Finally finished this portrait of Samuel Beckett.  It's 24 X 36 in., painted to “Me And The Devil Blues” by Robert Johnson.  “Waiting For Godot” is one of my favourite plays and this quote in particular stood out for me while painting.
