Thank you for linking Rothko's painting to Ravitch's Despairing Prayer. And for letting us know that Yiddish was spoken in his home when he was a child. I like most Jews have an internal bleak outlook on life. Not conscious or willingly. Especially if aware of our sad history.

Thanks for sharing this note - and I'm glad that the Rothko resonated with you here as well.
