Dreams

William S. Burroughs

Gilt and red plush. Rococo bar backed by pink shell.  The air is cloyed with a sweet evil substance like decayed honey. Men and women in evening dress sip pousse-cafés through alabaster tubes. A Near East Mugwump sit naked on a bar stool covered in pink silk. He licks warm honey from a crystal goblet with a long black tongue. His genitals are perfectly formed — circumcised cock, black shiny pubic hairs. His lips are thin and purple-blue like the lips of a penis, his eyes blank with insect calm

كغریض ساریة أدرته الصبّا

من ماء أسجر طیّب المستنقع

ظلم البطاح به انهلال حریصة

فصفا النّطاف بها بعید المقلع

لعب السیّول به فأصبح ماؤه

غللا تقطّع فی أصول الخروع

شيء تفعله ، وشيء تحبه ، وشيء تأمله

شيئان هما الأكثر رهبة ، سماء مرصعة بالنجوم فوقي والقانون الأخلاقي في داخلي – ايمانويل كانت

Two things fill the heart with renewed and increasing awe and reverence the more often and the more steadily that they are meditated on: the starry skies above me and the moral law inside me - Immanuel_Kant

Comrade Workers! (1917-21)

If you don't want the old yoke back, join the ranks of the communists. A fat and ugly capitalist sits a top supporters of the old regime, naked save for his bowler hat and diamond ring. Workers in chains file by before him.

"Come on, girls!"

Avenues open to us everything,       

And his bow brings us the land.        

Grow flowers and children are happy   

Fertile fields and ears.                 

And the cities and factories, and fields -           

All this and our home sweet home!          

Let the new day overtake the day yesterday 

His cheerful, joyful labor

WHEN A MAN LOVES

E.O. Hoppé

''The Master'' of Photography 1878-1972

The fascination of portrait photography lies in the fact that, like medicine, it brings one into touch with almost every phase of human nature. The Society photographer touches the heights of comedy and the depths of tragedy.

E.O. Hoppé, One Hundred Thousand Exposures: The Success of a Photographer (London/New York: Focal Press, 1945)

I Bless You

I bless you, forests, valleys, fields, mountains, waters

I bless freedom and blue skies.

I bless my staff and my humble rags

And the steppe from beginning to end

And the sun’s light, and night’s darkness

And the path I walk, pauper that I am

And, in the field every blade of grass

and every star in the sky

O! if only I could encompass all life

And join my soul with yours

O! if only I could embrace you all

Enemies, friends and brothers, and all nature

And enfold all nature in my arms!

 'I Bless You, Forests', a poem by Count Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy
