Two Cats

Two Cats - Franz Marc

Cats are misunderstood because they refuse to explain themselves.
- Paul Morand

The Broken Column

The Broken Column,
Frida Kahlo

Foi este o quadro que mais me impressionou na exposição no CCB no ano passado. A intensidade da dor e do sofrimento retratada é de arrepiar.

... it is dissatisfied longing which draws us to others - we are seeking something from them. The more content and secure we become in ourselves - the more we satisfy our longings - the less we need others.

in love, life, Goethe, John Armstrong

"I felt a funeral in my brain"

I felt a funeral in my brain,
And mourners, to and fro,
Kept treading, treading, till it seemed
That sense was breaking through.


And when they all were seated,
A service like a drum
Kept beating, beating, till I thought
My mind was going numb

And then I heard them lift a box,
And creak across my soul
With those same boots of lead, again.

Then space began to toll

As all the heavens were a bell,
And being, but an ear,
And I and Silence some strange Race
Wrecked, solitary, here.

- Emily Dickinson -
