Word and image

We haven't had one of these for a while! 



I can't attribute the image, I'm afraid, as I've no idea of the source but I like the complexity of Gackt's expression here;  it seems to suit the peaceful paradox in the poem very well.  The poem is one of the traditional Japanese death poems, this time written by a 14thC buddhist monk.
