The Sketchbook Project, Third Part, page 31

Part III, page 31, acrylic. Le Pic Noir --The Black Woodpecker
"The architecture of his chraneal box--I read at the Museum of the Pyrenees-- is adapted to resist hundreds of hummerings a minute." ..... "Victim of his own strength, after a particularly violent strike, a "pic noir" was found dead, stuck into the tree by the beak, which he had not been able to pull out."
Inside: I identified mysel with this poor bird, working all his life...to die on the job...
"La arquitectura de su caja craneana -- lei en el museo de los Pirineos-- esta adaptada para resistir cientos de golpes por minuto." ... "Victima de su propia fuerza, despues de un golpe particularmente fuerte, un "pic noir" fue encontrado muerto, con el pico clavado dentro del arbol, pues no habia tenido fuerza suficiente para sacarlo." 
Dentro mio: Me senti totalmente identificada con este pobre pajaro, trabajando toda su vida...para morir en el trabajo...
