nothing to do with anything

"Sara seemed as much unlike her as if she were a creature from another world.

On this particular afternoon she had been taking her dancing lesson,

and the afternoon on which the dancing-master appeared was rather
a grand occasion at the seminary, though it occurred every week.

The pupils were attired in their prettiest frocks, and as Sara danced
particularly well, she was very much brought forward,

and Mariette was requested to make her as diaphanous and fine as possible.

Today a frock the colour of a rose had been put on her, and Mariette
had brought some real buds and made her a wreath to wear on her black locks.

She had been learning a new, delightful dance in which she
had been skimming and flying about the room, like a large rose-coloured butterfly,

and the enjoyment and exercise had brought a brilliant,
happy glow into her face."

Urnatur



If you want to find me, I'll be off in the Neverland.

"Perhaps she is going to sing in her sleep," said Peter.
"Wendy, sing the kind of house you would like to have."
Immediately, without opening her eyes, Wendy began to sing:

"I wish I had a pretty house,
The littlest ever seen,
With funny little red walls
And a roof of mossy green."

They gurgled with joy at this, for the greatest good luck the branches they had brought were sticky with red sap, and all the ground was carpeted with moss.
As they rattled up the little house they broke into song themselves:

"We've built the little walls and roof
And made a lovely door,
So tell us, mother Wendy,
What are you wanting more?"

"...He knocked politely, and now the wood was as still as the children,
not a sound to be heard except from Tinker Bell, who was watching
from a branch and openly sneering...."

caught between earth and water


It's been too much to wrap my mind around this blog
for a couple weeks now.
I still love it, as it, in a way, disciplines me to constantly
search for new artists and inspiring imagery.
So I haven't quit on you, and I hope you won't quit on me.
It will just be a bit sparser than usual.

P.S. I have been very busy with my own photo series, so please be patient to
see new work! In the mean time, here's a peak at Skye Parrott's show,
"First Love, Last Rites", open now at Capricious!
