Mine is the hand that reaps and sows
Mine are the teeth that chew and chip
Mine are the eyes that glitter and weep
Mine is the heel that falls and slips
Not yours but mine
Mine is the ear to hear the scream and laugh
Mine are the shoulders that weigh and lift
Mine the throat that growls and groans
Mine the spine of steel that cracks and shifts
Not yours but mine.
Mine are the veins full of brightness and filth
Mine is the will wrought in flame and iron
Mine this vice of payment and pain
Mine the power of these words
Not yours but mine
Mine the weight of resolve to be crushed instead of breaking
Mine the strength of conviction to act in ruthless certainty
Not yours but mine
This the Word gives me. This; the Word gives all.

9 of the 15 “Black Paintings” that covered the walls of Goya’s home.
The Black Paintings (Spanish: Pinturas negras) is the name given to a group of fourteen paintings by Francisco Goya from the later years of his life, likely between 1819 and 1823. They portray intense, haunting themes, reflective of both his fear of insanity and his bleak outlook on humanity.
In 1819, at the age of 72, Goya moved into a two-story house outside Madrid that was called Quinta del Sordo (Deaf Man’s Villa). Although the house had been named after the previous owner, who was deaf, Goya too was nearly deaf at the time as a result of an illness he had suffered when he was 46. The paintings originally were painted as murals on the walls of the house, later being “hacked off the walls and attached to canvas.” Currently they are held in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.After the Napoleonic Wars and the internal turmoil of the changing Spanish government, Goya developed an embittered attitude toward mankind. He had a first-hand and acute awareness of panic, terror, fear and hysteria. He had survived two near-fatal illnesses, and grew increasingly anxious and impatient in fear of relapse. The combination of these factors is thought to have led to his production of the fourteen works known collectively as the Black Paintings.
Using oil paints and working directly on the walls of his dining and sitting rooms, Goya created works with dark, disturbing themes. The paintings were not commissioned and were not meant to leave his home. It is likely that the artist never intended the works for public exhibition: “…these paintings are as close to being hermetically private as any that have ever been produced in the history of Western art.”
Goya did not give titles to the paintings, or if he did, he never revealed them. Most names used for them are designations employed by art historians.
