Mag#138 "Jan Steen Is Lovesick"

Sick Woman, 1665, by Jan Steen

 

 

Jan Steen is lovesick

in the throws of

Hypercondria

a near-fatal

 Roller Coaster ride

of

Mood-induced

Anxiety

She has vapours,

swallows dry,

heaves hard swoons

of relentless and listless fawning

for her imagined lover

will soon return

in her most amazing dream

of unrequitted LOVE
