Edvard MUNCH - the kiss Il est pratiquement impossible » de séparer les deux personnages, notamment là où les visages se touchent et ne font plus qu'un. La représentation des amants traduit leur unité, mais aussi peut-être une « perte d'individualité, le couple devient « la fusion de deux êtres, dont le plus petit, semble prêt à dévorer le plus grand. Le cycle représente les stades d'une relation entre un homme et une femme et fait partie de ce que Munch appelait « la bataille entre l'homme et la femme que l'on appelle l'amour », il comprend la représentation d'attractions, de réalisations et de déceptions. Illustration musicale: PETER PAUL and MARY - kisses When I was a young man and never been kissed I got to thinking it over what I had missed. I got me a girl, I kissed her and then Oh lord, I kissed her again. Oh, kisses sweeter than wine I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife, And we would be so happy the rest of our lives. I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, And then, oh lord, she gave me her hand. I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, Workin' hand in hand to make a good life. With corn in the field and wheat in the bins, I was, oh lord, the father of twins. Our children they numbered just about four, They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door. They all got married and they didn't hesitate; I was, oh lord, the grandmother of eight. Now that we're old, and ready to go, We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago. We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, But, oh lord, we'd do it again Fred Hellerman / Huddie Ledbetter / Lee Hays / Pete Seeger / Ronnie Gilbert
