Melancholy Man and Mermaid, by Edvard Munch (Norway) 1896-1902

Norwegian Woe
 
"Then why do I feel alone?" So Long, Marianne, Leonard Cohen
 
Marianne taught Leonard 
fish is fisk   bird means fugl
 
Norwegian mermaids
know the cold and futile
 
the wish to fly away
to go   so long Oslo
 
Leonard taught Marianne
he was the Hydra bird
 
she was the song fish
swimming in his words
