"And muse on nature with a poet's eye..."
Thomas Campbell
One foot inside, at the Fall Chrysanthemum Show at Smith, where everything is fresh and actively growing into its most vibrant self. And one foot outside where everything is actively returning to its most ethereal self.

Lange Wapper 1962 (Albert Poets)
Lange Wapper is een reus uit de Antwerpse folklore.
In Antwerpen kent men volgende sage:
In Hoboken zou hij ooit de mast van een schip hebben vastgegrepen en het ding in de lucht gegooid hebben.
In de buurt van de Groenplaats woonde eens een juffer die vier vrijers had. Op een avond liet ze ze na elkaar op bezoek komen. Maar ze kwamen bij Lange Wapper, die haar gedaante had aangenomen. De eerste moest bewijzen dat hij van haar hield door twee uur op het grote kruis op het kerkhof te gaan zitten. De tweede moest twee uur in een kist onder het kruis gaan liggen. De derde moest op de doodskist kloppen en wachten tot ze hem kwam halen. De vierde moest met een lange ketting rond het kruis lopen. Toen hij dat deed vond hij drie doden. De eerste vrijer viel van schrik dood van het kruis, toen de tweede in de kist kroop. De tweede stierf van angst toen de derde op de kist klopte en de derde stierf toen hij het geluid van de ketting hoorde en dacht dat de duivel hem kwam halen. De vierde vrijer werd gek, sprong in de Schelde en verdronk.
Een andere sage die met Lange Wapper is verbonden, verklaart waarom er zo veel Mariabeelden op de gevels van de huizen in de binnenstad staan: De Antwerpenaars, die Lange Wapper omwille van zijn pesterijen dus liever kwijt dan rijk waren, ontdekten dat Lange Wapper de beeltenis van Maria niet kon verdragen. Ze plaatsten daarom op de gevels van de huizen Mariabeeldjes. De beeldjes deden Lange Wapper steeds verder uit de binnenstad vluchten, waardoor hij uiteindelijk in de Schelde viel en verdronk.

Long Wapper 1962 (Albert Poets)
Long Wapper is a giant in the Antwerp folklore.
In Antwerp one knows saga following:
Hoboken he would ever have of a ship's mast gripped and threw the thing in the air.
Near the Groenplaats there lived a lady who had four suitors. One night she let them come to visit after another. But they came to Long Wapper who had taken her form. The first had to prove he loved her by two hours on the big cross to sit in the cemetery. The second had to lie down for two hours in a coffin beneath the cross. The third was to knock on the coffin and wait for them to come get him. The fourth had to walk with a long chain around the cross. When he did he found three dead. The first suitor was startled death of the cross, then crawled the second in the chest. The second died of fear when the third knocked on the coffin and the third died when he heard of the chain noise and thought the devil came to collect him. The fourth suitor was crazy, jumped into the river Scheldt and drowned.
Another legend connected to Long Wapper explains why there are so many statues of the Virgin on the facades of the houses in the city: The people of Antwerp, which Lange Wapper because of his bullying so rather were lost than rich, discovered that Long Wapper the effigy Mary could not stand. They therefore placed on the facades of the houses Mary Statues. The figurines were doing Lange Wapper continues to flee from the town, which he eventually fell into the river Scheldt and drowned.

Painting in parks is always a great thing for a painter, just being there looking around makes one feel like a poet,how cant a poet pop out of any painter when they find a great place to throw on a little color and just enjoy a lovely day.steve
Nuda è la terra, e l'anima
ulula contro il pallido orizzonte
come lupa famelica. Che cerchi,
poeta, nel tramonto?
Amaro camminare, perché pesa
il cammino sul cuore. Il vento freddo,
e la notte che giunge, e l'amarezza
della distanza... Sul cammino bianco,
alberi che nereggiano stecchiti;
sopra i monti lontani sangue ed oro...
Morto è il sole... Che cerchi,
poeta, nel tramonto?

My friend invited me to her writer's group this evening and I have to be careful because the person who's work we critiqued is also a Flickerite ... seriously, it was a refreshing change and enjoyable to meet the authors!
Ma copine m'avait invité à participer à son groupe d'écrivains ce soir et je dois me méfier car celui qui a presenté son oeuvre (et qui nous avons du critiquer) est aussi Flickerien .... bref, c'était une soirée géniale!
17th August update: this poet will use this photo for the cover of a CD he will get published! :-)

I took this photo with an old , used Minolta SRT 101 in July 1993. I was at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado with Bernadette assisting in the presentation of her monumental conceptual photographic work Memory. She was my teacher, mentor and friend. We were old soldiers who recognized each other immediately. She was, without doubt, the single most significant influence on my work as an artist & photographer. I salute her independent spirit and her prestigious body of work.
