Inscriptions and Marks
  • Signed: l.r.: Corita
  • (not assigned): Printed text reads: I could take two leaves and give you one. Would that not be a kind of perfection? But I prefer one leaf torn to give you half showing (after these years, simply) love's complexity in an art, the tearing and unique edges—one leaf (one word) from the two imperfections that match. Hayden Carruth
  • inscription: l.l.,in graphite: 68-69-B
