To mend each
tattered Faith
There is a
needle fair
Though no appearance indicate -
'Tis threaded in
the Air -
And though it do not wear
As if it never
Tore
'Tis very comfortable indeed
And specious
as before -
~F1468A, Emily Dickinson Archive

Fear no more the heat o' the sun
Nor the furious winters' rages
Thou thy worldly task hast done
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages
Golden lads and girls all must
Chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
~Loreena McKennitt's adaptation from <Cymbeline> Act IV.ii.258ff

In other Motes,
Of other Myths
Your requisition
be.
The Prism never
held the Hues,
It only heard
them play -

Take Your Heaven further on -
This - to Heaven divine Has gone -
Had You earlier blundered in
Possibly, e'en You had seen
An Eternity - put on -
. . .
To the Skies - apologize -
Nearer to Your Courtesies
Than this Sufferer polite -
Dressed to meet You -
See - in White!

2 Dec. 1839
One moment of serene and confident life is more glorious than a whole campaign of daring. We should be ready for all issues, not daring to die but daring to live. To the brave even danger is an ally.
In their unconscious daily life all are braver than they know.

Hope everyone has a nice week! :)❄️☃️🐦🐿️❄️
A nice welcome to December, with new-fallen snow, it reminds of a clean slate. I've never seen so many cardinals, it's a birdie-party, with blue jays, juncos, chickadees, finches, sparrows, and squirrels join the festivities, extra birdseed for everyone.

As you advance, the trees come out of the mist, and take form before your eyes. You are reminded of your dreams. Life looks like a dream. You are prepared to see visions.

The morning wind forever blows,
the poem of creation is uninterrupted;
but few are the ears that hear it.

A still - Volcano - Life -
That flickered in the night -
When it was dark enough
to show
Without endangering sight -

A delightful classic of Spanish cinema, <¡Bienvenido, Mister Marshall!>. Interesting stories behind the creation of this film released in Spain in 1953 and the US in 1993.🎬🎭🇪🇸

When the first chickens were no more than peeping balls of fluff, I cut up a stack of cheapie romance paperbacks & used the shreds for bedding (minus the glossy covers). Eventually the paper scraps went into the garden, & sometimes, hoeing & planting, I'll upturn cryptic snaps of dirty romance.

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite, —only a sense of existence.

In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence's gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law (Ham. III.iii.2339ff)

Hope everyone has a nice week! 🍁🐦🐇🍂🐿️Read the Norton <The Golden Age of Spanish Drama>, great. Siglo Oro dramas, very good. 'La vida es sueña' / 'Life is a Dream' by Calderón de la Barca, was my favorite and might paint a scene from the story. Moving on from these two paintings; studies, as it were.
