"happily achieved"
This is a "found poem", or a poem discovered by highlighting certain words and phrases of a published book. In this case, the page is from Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes.
The book itself was in poor condition, so pages were removed and salvaged to be renewed as indiviual pieces of art.
The poem is revealed through careful selection, with ink highlighting certain words. Graphite and ink designs help distract the viewer from the non-essential words.
The poem reads:
he plunged himselfthrough
imagination
in the world
because he
liked
the earth, between his arms.
his honour
should become
happily achieved.
The book page is about 5.5"W x 8.5"H, on an ecru colored page, hand colored with black ink and graphite accents.
