"The danger, however, is not less real because it is imaginary; imagination acts upon man as really as does gravitation, and may kill him as certainly as a dose of prussic acid." (Frazer-The Golden bow "Tabooed Things".)

Fall Song
Mary Oliver

Another year gone, leaving everywhere
its rich spiced residues: vines, leaves,

the uneaten fruits crumbling damply
in the shadows, unmattering back

from the particular island
of this summer, this NOW, that now is nowhere

except underfoot, moldering
in that black subterranean castle

of unobservable mysteries - roots and sealed seeds
and the wanderings of water. This

I try to remember when time's measure
painfully chafes, for instance when autumn

flares out at the last, boisterous and like us longing
to stay - how everything lives, shifting

from one bright vision to another, forever
in these momentary pastures.

La muse malade

The Sick Muse

My poor Muse, alas! what ails you today?
Your hollow eyes are full of nocturnal visions;
I see in turn reflected on your face
Horror and madness, cold and taciturn.
Have the green succubus, the rosy elf,
Poured out for you love and fear from their urns?
Has the hand of Nightmare, cruel and despotic,
Plunged you to the bottom of some weird Minturnae?
I would that your bosom, fragrant with health,
Were constantly the dwelling place of noble thoughts,
And that your Christian blood would flow in rhythmic waves
Like the measured sounds of ancient verse,
Over which reign in turn the father of all songs,
Phoebus, and the great Pan, lord of harvest.
— William Aggeler, The Flowers of Evil (Fresno, CA: Academy Library Guild, 1954)


The Sick Muse

What's the matter with you today, Muse?
Are you going to tell me about last night's visions,
Heads on spikes, natives dancing a frenzied juba,
And all kinds of other stuff?
Oh you pink-lipped succubus!
You just don't want me to shoot into you.
You say you drowned, at Actium or Lepanto.
Again? What a nightmare.
I only want you to heave health
Be thinking of strongly urged Christian Things
And you tied to a bed
So, count it out and
Moan your dirge —
I'm climbing on.
— Will Schmitz

The road less traveled

Tijdens herfstwandeling door het gebied van de Maurik (landgoed Tongelaar)
oog in oog met deze trotse Hooglander



The Road Not Taken - by Robert Frost

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference"

De vliegenzwam valt sinds het verbod op paddo's (dec 2008) onder de opiumwet

gebroken vooras onder het rijden. Blij dat ie niet over de kop ging.... blik op de weg vind het ook vreemd

sommige kinderen zijn toe aan de middelbare school...andere zouden liever nog een tijdje in het bos blijven rondrennen...

Lamb - Wonder


"Lately I find myself
Amazed
At all around me
Everything I see
Like all of life's ablaze
With light
That suddenly I see
Only now I see
The wonder
The wonder
Of it all
Wonder everywhere
More than we know
Heaven's not up there
But on earth below"

loney dear @ de Watt

Geweldig gedreven concert. Zag hem voor de 2e keer optreden. Nu minder 'verlegen' maar nog altijd een beetje
verrast over het eigen succes.
Toegift, toegift, toegift en vooruit nog maar eens een toegift :-)

jeugd sentiment

Herinner me een van zijn vele albums "The sea" .
alsof er een wereld open ging..

zo!...wat valt er nog meer te schilderen...

cross country @ Helvoirt

kijk...je hebt paarden en je hebt paarden...
mijn paarden zouden bij deze hindernis ('the salad bar')
direct in de ankers gaan
en zich focussen op de wortels

ik noem dat 'karakter' :-)
