henry miller

henry miller thoughtsthe brilliant author and painter and one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, mr. henry miller explores the paradigms of earth, life, death and the thwarting troubles in between.  here is a bit of a summary from the man himself:

“no matter what you touch and you wish to know about, you end up in a sea of mystery. you see there’s no beginning or end, you can go back as far as you want, forward as far as you want, but you never got to it, it’s like the essence, it’s that right, it remains. this is the greatest damn thing about the universe. that we can know so much, recognize so much, dissect, do everything, and we can’t grasp it. and it’s meant to be that way, do y’know. and there’s where our reverence should come in. Before everything, the littlest thing as well as the greatest. the tiniest, the horseshit, as well as the angels, do y’know what I mean. tt’s all mystery. all impenetrable, as it were, right?” by sv

ode to a flower in casarsa

Desert flower, flowers from the garland
of our houses where families
bicker in the open air,

you browse on the stones of the day,
simple, while field and sky
like sky and sea
appear all around.

Rustic desert flower,

no evening streaming with lights.

No shepherds drenched by dew,

slender fire of the hedges.

No marsh-marigold, bilberry, swamp-violet
or Florentine iris, or gentian, no angelica,
no Parnassian grass or marsh-myrtle.

You’re Pieruti, Zuan
and tall Bepi with his walking-sticks of bone,
slim at the helm of his wagon,

pasture flower.

You become hay. Burn, burn,
sun of my town, little desert flower.

The years pass over you,
and so do I, with the shadow of the acacia tree,
with the sunflower, on this quiet day.

a visionary on many fronts, the stunning words of mr. pier paolo pasolini. by sv

will today’s conceptual art survive another eight hundred years? this was asked of hiroshi sugimoto, and  his response was blank: “it is very optimistic to think that 2800 will be witnessed by man”. regarding the seascapes above he said: “it is very important to know the name of the sea and location where my seascapes are taken. i want the viewer to imagine the sea before it was named: what would you call it if you were the first to lay eyes on it?” sea of light… by uh
