BRING me all of your dreams,
You dreamer,
Bring me all your
Heart melodies

That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.

Four pedestrians cross a quiet Lisbon street in black and white, stepping over curved steel tram tracks that lead uphill between parked cars and historic buildings.

Eyes on the table
https://botfrens.com/collections/69/contents/19146
"Eyes on the Table" by Remedios Varo showcases a surreal arrangement of spectacles and disembodied eyes resting on a floating table, evoking themes of perception and the intersection of reality and imagination. Known for her distinctive style within the realm of Surrealism, Varo often infused her works with mystical and dreamlike elements, reflecting her interest in alchemy, science, and esoteric knowledge.

Un changement d'attitude est le meilleur antidote à ce qui empoisonne votre vie et vous confronte quotidiennement aux souvenirs d'un passé qui pendant si longtemps vous a meurtri et usé votre énergie vitale.

'Are the first and last line of any poem

“We parted company at the moment when all kinds of things were about to find their way into words.”

Find yourself a correspondent who writes to you as Gustave Flaubert did to George Sand.
I am all at a loose end since you left; I feel as if I haven't seen you for ten years. Every conversation that I have with my mother is about you. Everyone here loves you dearly. Under what constellation were you born then, to be blessed with such qualities, so diverse and so rare? I do not know the name of the feeling that I have for you. But it is a special tenderness, something I have never felt until now, not for anyone. We got on well together, didn't we? It was very agreeable. It was so good that I do not want to share the pleasure with anyone else. If you happen to use Croisset in one of your books, do disguise it so that nobody recognizes it. I would appreciate it. The memory of your visit is just for the two of us, for me. That is how selfish I am. I particularly missed you last night, at ten o'clock. There was a fire, over at my wood-merchant's. The sky was pink and the Seine was the colour of red-currant syrup. I worked at the pumps for three hours and I came home as weary as the Turk with the giraffe? [...] One of the Rouen newspapers (Le Nouvelliste) reported your visit to Rouen, so that on Saturday after I had left you I met several bourgeois in a state of indignation over the fact that I had not put you on display. A former magistrate took the prize: 'If we had known that she was here... we would have... we would have ..? - five-minute pause, he's looking for the word - We would have... smiled at her.' That would have been rather meagre, don't you think? [...] To love you 'more' is difficult for me. But I do embrace you most tenderly. Your letter this morning, so melancholy, stirred me. We parted company just at the moment when all kinds of things were about to find their way into words. All of the doors between the two of us are not yet open. You inspire a great respect in me and I do not have the courage to ask you questions, Farewell, I kiss your sweet and lovely countenance, and I am Your Gve Flaubert

The night sky simmers and sparks. Any attempt to understand what we see in the cosmos relies on knowing how it changes, night after night. These variations are preserved beautifully on a hundred years of glass plate photographs.

Today’s observatories document every pulse and flash in the sky each night. To understand how the cosmos has changed over longer periods, scientists rely on a more tactile technology.

“Emily Dickinson is one of the greatest poets we have, and I don’t mean ‘we’ merely in America. I mean she is one of the greatest of poets.” —Susan Howe
Susan Howe, The Art of Poetry No. 97

Juliette Gréco, February 7, 1927 – September 23, 2020.

Miles Davis fell in love with the French chanteuse while in Paris, but stopped her from following him back to the U.S., where he feared their interracial relationship—this was back in the fifties, mind you—could hinder her reputation.
