...Bright and glorious is that revelation, / Written all over this great world of ours; / Making evident our own creation, / In these stars of earth, these golden flowers...

... Brilliant hopes, all woven in gorgeous tissues, / Flaunting gayly in the golden light; / Large desires, with most uncertain issues, / Tender wishes, blossoming at night!...

...Not alone in her vast dome of glory, / Not on graves of bird and beast alone, / But in old cathedrals, high and hoary, / On the tombs of heroes, carved in stone...

Maria della Vitta Cathedral // Bologna // Italy Flowers // Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

[...] Just tell me about the boulevards... Tell me about your life in art... Yeah, tell me about the boulevards... Cause Europe always seems so far [...]

[...] You read some books and they broke your heart... But you don't know one thing about life... You're just a pretty boy [...]

[ Apollo showed me the sun // Told me not to fly too close // Or else I would be one // Of the people on the land... ]

[ Daylight shuffles in // Cascading through the open door, and // Dancing on your lips // Where you held your cigarette... ]

[ So, Apollo bring me back // To the place I was before I met you // And Icarus leads the way // To where I need to go... ]

[ I hear your footsteps now // Barefoot soles on the bathroom floor, and // On my way out // I told you I would never leave... ]

I see through your lovely eyes a sweet light which through my blind ones I yet cannot see; I carry with your feet a burden which with my lame ones I cannot

I fly with your wings, having none of my own; with your spirit toward heaven I am always moving; by your will I turn pale or blush, cold in the sun, warm in the coldest weather

Within your will alone is my will, my thoughts within your bosom are born, in your breath are my words. I am like the moon, alone, which our eyes cannot see in the heavens except that it is illumined by the sun

Hold my hand... Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river...

If you get sleep or if you get none (The cock's gonna call in the morning, baby)

And if you fall... And if you fall...

Guys, I'm such a moron. I just realized that this blog turned one year old on January 7, 2024.

You won't even realize how proud I am. It was always difficult for me to stick to something for a long time. I could never keep a journal when I was a child, all the books and fanfictions I started writing were never finished.

But in 2023 I managed to post almost every week on this blog, and a few days ago I completed a year of Duolingo.

I want to thank all those who decided to follow me and those who occasionally stop by to give a like or a reblog. I want to post more than once a week and bring more diversity to the blog in 2024. I hope you will stay with me.

Quick question: With what type of post would you mark a year of activity on Tumblr?

Ceilings, plaster... Can't you just make it move faster?...

Lovely to be sitting here with you... You're kinda cute but it's raining harder...

Then you're drivin' me home... And I don't wanna leave... But I have to go

You kiss me in your car... And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before... Before...

It's hard havin' a heart in the city

Look at the stars, waitin' for someone

To tell you you're pretty, you're enough

So it goes, I don't know what the feeling's like

To be comfortable with a stranger in your skin

Don't know why you let them in

You always wanted to take before you give, but what's the fun of it?

I don't know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills

Give me chills

// The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression, whether they are paintings, sculptures, tragedies, or musical compositions // - Paul Klee

// Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump // - Auguste Rodin

// In our own time it has been seen... that simple children, roughly brought up in the wilderness, have begun to draw by themselves, impelled by their own natural genius, instructed solely by the example of these beautiful paintings and sculptures of Nature// - Giorgio Vasari
