By the sea III
“Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.”
(Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way)
At the shore
“If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land”…
(Pablo Neruda, If You Forget Me)
3 years of beauty (before the party)
“Living is being happy: seeing, hearing, touching, drinking, eating, urinating, defecating, diving into the water and gazing at the sky, laughing and crying.”
(Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting)
Mirror – A self-portrait
“Life can be magnificent and overwhelming – that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live. ”
(Albert Camus)
Smiling child – A portrait of Alice IV
Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
(…)
Tell me, what is the present hour ?
‘A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.’
(Emily Jane Brontë, Past, Present, Future)
All in blue
…”But we know, don’t we
And we’ll dream, won’t we?
Of Montague Terrace in blue
All in blue…”
(Scott Walker, The old man’s back again)
Blowing by…
…”That’s what I want!
A new shot at life!
But my coat’s too thin, my feet won’t fly
And I watch the wind and I see another dream
Blowing by…”
(Scott Walker, Rosemary)
