Karin Boye’s 115th Birthday
Karin Boye was a sensitive Swedish poet. An idealist at
heart, she imagined the best of what humanity could offer, but was
observant of the grey realities that hold us back. She lived in
disastrous times, pre-World War II. But in the face of darkness, she
wrote: Clouds, Hidden Lands, and Yes, of course it hurts.
Today’s animated doodle by Olivia Huynh is adapted from one of Boye’s
best known works "Yes, of course it hurts," describing the inevitable
pain of change. While melancholy in tone, her optimism shines
through.
The branches and buds outside persist, in spite of the seasons,
while Boye writes. Several earlier drafts explored the metaphor of a
tree changing throughout the year, but the lighting in this final
version seemed to best match the mood of Boye’s words.
