noc jak ściana
za nimi
wszechświat z obojętnymi
oczyma gwiazd
i tylko oni - samotni
w odrapanym oknie
ziemskiej ulicy

night like a wall
behind them
the universe with indifferent
stars for eyes
and only these two -alone
in a shabby window
of an earthly street

Exhibition of Elmar Trenkwalder - Garden of Earthly Delights in Museum Beelden Aan Zee in The Hague
The Austrian artist Elmar Trenkwalder (1959) evokes a baroque world in his sculptures and drawings, in which a mixture of eroticism and architecture takes place. Columns have phallic shapes and ornaments are made up of entwined human figures. The formal language and exuberance are related to the Baroque architecture, which flourished in Austria. Trenkwalder creates his own, sensuous variant of this, initially in drawings, but also in ceramics. His monumental ceramic sculptures, accompanied by drawings, are brought together in an exhibition in the Main Hall of the museum. The theme of the exhibition is Garden of Earthly Delights. The exhibition is arranged like a garden, the statues take the forms of architectural hedges, fountains and growing shapes reminiscent of branches and tree trunks. Central to the exhibition is an immense new sculpture, almost a garden in itself, a hortus conclusus, with a forest of ornaments, arches and botanical forms to wander in. The botanical aspects together with the erotic ornaments make the theme Garden of Earthly Delights more than opportune.
Earthly Bounds or Stupid Gravity...
The feeling I get when spending time under the stars. I still had very late light coming in from the west and clouds reflecting some distant light pollution.
A very dry winter in the sierras left little water in the stream flowing through the meadow and the wild flowers were somewhat absent. Fortunately the beavers participated in helping me with this set up by building a dam allowing enough water to collect and include in my shot.
Earthly Grassland.

fundentes per cubicula, porticus et saga posita tempestates,
smiles húire whispered roses fraternal úr le fáil,
lămpi plăcute căi uscate mari neclintit încoronate,
бэлэн олон ургуулахгүй бодол сайхан өвөл сонсогдож хол,

青い汚されていない豆は上羽の鳥を縁取り.

"Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!"
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851)
"And when we consider that ... all other earthly hues — every stately or lovely emblazoning — the sweet tinges of sunset skies and woods; yea, and the gilded velvets of butterflies, and the butterfly cheeks of young girls; all these are but subtile deceits, not actually inherent in substances, but only laid on from without; so that all deified Nature absolutely paints like the harlot..."
Herman Melville

Few earthly pleasures rival the joy of lying flat on the grass to watch the clouds fly past on a windy and balmy sunny day, lazing away a beautiful spring afternoon ...

“They Came from Infinity to Destroy Man’s Earthly Paradise.”
From the back cover:
It was a great world in the fortieth century. No economic problems. No work. Robots and androids everywhere. Every girl a princess, every man a king. Pleasure, parties, amusements, art, drama and literature were the ultimate goal of every man, woman and child.
When people have too much leisure there is danger. They grow soft and effete. There hadn’t been a standing army on earth for a thousand years. There hadn’t been a single warrior for five hundred. Then the Masked Swordsmen began breaking up the pleasure parties, after the swords came guns, stolen from the museums. Then . . . worse . . . far, far worse.
But that wasn’t all. There were rumours of alien ships in the sky. Ships manned by a savage blue skinned humanoid race. Ships landed. Blues were enslaved. More blues came. Earthmen and women were captured in reprisal.
Who were the blues? Why did they come? What was their history? What were their plans for the future? Would the human race survive . . .?

Badger Books were published between 1959 and 1967 in a number of genres, predominantly war, westerns, romance, supernatural and science fiction. In common with other “pulp” or mass-market publishers of the time, Badger Books focused on quantity rather than quality. A new title in each of the major genres appeared each month, generally written to tight deadlines by low-paid authors. One of the most remarkable facts about Badger Books is that much of its output was produced by just two authors (using a range of house names and other pseudonyms). John Glasby (over 300 novels and short stories) and Robert Lionel Fanthorpe (over 200 novels and stories). [Wikipedia]
