This text and Picasso images on this page oppose a page with a quote from Picasso, "Work is my respiration. When I cannot work, I cannot breathe Jacoby then creates a permutation with a Picasso-related theme: work, word, wore, wove, cove, dove, love, live. She draws a spiral and closes the poem with the words Aspiration, Inspiration, Respiration. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
