Eternal words

Forty Shades
by Ulick O'Connor

Let us calumniate green:
It weakens the will in us,
A most unholy sheen
Inducing paralysis.

Midsummer meadows, afloat
In lush heat, throw a blue glow
But beneath lurks the greencoat
Inertia, cop out, no go.

Close the eyes? Yes! Ask still
Is this the right emphasis?
Is darkness negotiable
Without the paralysis.

One Is Animate, 1990


These words could inspire an entire project.

This is what I want

Alexander the Great









This is my second post on Alexander McQueen's retrospective exhibition, Savage Beauty at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. I don't think any photographs can do the work justice as the impact from his work comes from the atmosphere created when you are faced with the work head on and it takes over you but not so much in a dreamy way but something quite scary where it is so overpowering it becomes calming and it takes all your energy to look away. 

If the lotto could please go my way I will be on my way....a la NYC.
