Chance and probability instead of certainty took over their reign also in the arts and literature. Take for example Picasso’s painting. No definite action, no certain aim, the persons just linger around by chance. This is echoed in the first passage of Rilke’s poem, the Fifth Duino elegy.

But who are they, tell me, these Travellers, even more

transient than we are ourselves, urgently, from their earliest days,

wrung out for whom – to please whom,

by a never-satisfied will? Yet it wrings them,

bends them, twists them, and swings them,

throws them, and catches them again: as if from oiled

more slippery air, so they land

on the threadbare carpet, worn by their continual

leaping, this carpet

lost in the universe.
