Magical World of Dreams
Love Calls Us To The Things Of This World
The eyes open to a cry of pulleys,
And spirited from sleep, the astounded
soul
Hangs for a moment bodiless and
simple
As false dawn.
Outside the open window
The morning air is all awash with
angels.
Some are in bed-sheets, some are
in blouses,
Some are in smocks: but truly there
they are.
Now they are rising together in calm
swells
Of halcyon feeling, filling whatever they
wear
With the deep joy of their impersonal
breathing;
Now they are flying in place,
conveying
The terrible speed of their
omnipresence, moving
And staying like white water; and now
of a sudden
They swoon down in so rapt a quiet
That nobody seems to be there.
The soul shrinks
From all that it is about to remember,
From the punctual rape of every
blessed day,
And cries,
"Oh, let there be nothing on
earth but laundry,
Nothing but rosy hands in the rising
steam
And clear dances done in the sight of
heaven."
Yet, as the sun acknowledges
With a warm look the world's hunks
and colors,
The soul descends once more in bitter
love
To accept the waking body, saying now
In a changed voice as the man yawns
and rises,
"Bring them down from their ruddy
gallows;
Let there be clean linen for the backs
of thieves;
Let lovers go fresh and sweet to be
undone,
And the heaviest nuns walk in a pure
floating
Of dark habits,
keeping their difficult
balance."

With blue skies I figured a black and white of the Queen Sofia Palace of Arts in València was warranted.

The Fremantle Arts Centre is historic building complex on Ord Street in Fremantle, Western Australia.
The heritage-listed building complex was built using convict labour between 1861 and 1868 and was used as a psychiatric hospital, initially called the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum, and later known as the Asylum for the Criminally Insane. As of 2026 its used for art exhibitions, artist residencies, education, and live performances, the venue and its activities are managed by Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre.
It is located opposite the Fremantle Leisure and Aquatic Centre, and is near John Curtin College of the Arts and Christian Brothers College.

History
The first mentally ill patients in Western Australia were cared for in temporary accommodation, including the wreck of Marquis of Anglesea, the Round House and the Colonial Hospital. When convict transportation began in 1850, the numbers of people with mental illnesses in the colony began to increase. Official care began with the transfer of ten convicts from Perth Gaol to a new asylum located in Scott's Warehouse (corner of Croke and Cliff streets) in November 1857.
The imposing building on the 2.4-hectare (5.9-acre) site overlooks the harbour city and was the largest public building constructed by convicts in the state after the Fremantle Prison which had been built in the 1850s. The design, in colonial gothic style was by Lieutenant-Colonel Edmund Henderson, the Comptroller-General of Convicts in Western Australia, and built to accommodate 50 people. Construction began in 1861, under the supervision of James Manning – Clerk of Works to the Convict Establishment and the Twentieth Company of Engineers, who provided instruction and technical expertise to the convict labourers, and took four years to complete. The first patients occupied the asylum in July 1865.
In 1886, the responsibility for public buildings shifted to the newly created Public Works Department, under the Superintendent of Public Works, George Temple-Poole. Poole was responsible for the design of the north-east wing, facing Finnerty Street (completed in 1886) and the southern wings (completed in 1890 and 1894 respectively). Following the gold rushes in the 1890s, the asylum became drastically overcrowded, forcing a reorganisation of facilities, including the purchase of Whitby Falls as an asylum farm in 1897.
The asylum continued to operate for its intended purpose through to the early 1900s when, following two suspicious deaths which provoked comment from the local press, the Government set up an enquiry which concluded with a recommendation that the building "be demolished as unfit for the purpose for which it is now used." Patients were then moved to alternative locations in the metropolitan area between 1901 and 1909, including the newly constructed Claremont Hospital for the Insane.
The building was used shortly after as housing for homeless women (and occasionally delinquent girls), and later as a midwifery school. Until World War II it was known as the Old Women's Home. During World War II it became the headquarters for the American armed services based in Western Australia, who built the asbestos-clad laundry building on the north-east corner of the site.
After the war, the Arts Centre building was used for a time as an annexe of Fremantle Technical School, and in 1957, the State Education Department proposed its demolition to use the land as playing fields for the adjacent John Curtin High School. A public outcry and opposition campaign led by Frederick Samson, the Mayor of Fremantle, halted the demolition. After many years of lobbying for state and federal government funding, a major restoration project commenced in 1970 and in 1972 it housed the WA Maritime Museum (since relocated to Victoria Quay), and Fremantle Arts Centre.
In 1976 the Arts centre inspired the Fremantle Arts Centre Press which initially published poetry and short stories. The press has had a number of substantial successful authors and is now known as the Fremantle Press whose books are distributed through Penguin Press.
In 2001, the City of Fremantle adopted the Fremantle Arts Centre Conservation Plan, a guide for its conservation. In January 2007, conservation works were completed with the gable finials on the west façade restored to their original state, following their demolition at the turn of the 20th century.
On 20 July 2009 it was announced that the Immigration Museum will be closed as it was the least visited of the states museums, items in the collection will be placed into storage for conservation though items on loan will be returned. Amid criticism for the closure due to Government of Western Australia budget reductions, Arts Minister John Day said that the closure will allow for the expansion of Fremantle Arts Centre.
The US Navy's laundry building was recommended for demolition by the Western Australian Museum (who used it as a restoration laboratory between 1970 and 2005).
In 2021 the City of Fremantle prepared and adopted a new conservation management plan for the Fremantle Arts Centre. The estimated cost of the works identified in the plan was $4.95 million. In March 2023 work commenced on the replacement of the centre's asbestos roof cladding with heritage galvanised steel. (Wikipedia).

Der Pont des Arts (deutsch Brücke der Künste) ist eine Fußgängerbrücke über die Seine in Paris, die den Quai François-Mitterrand (ehemals: Quai du Louvre) im 1. Arrondissement am rechten Ufer mit dem Quai de Conti im 6. Arrondissement am linken Ufer verbindet. Er verläuft damit genau auf einer Achse zwischen dem Mittelpunkt des Cour Carrée des Louvre, dem von ihm zum Seineufer führenden Torbogen und dem Institut de France auf der anderen Seite. Er ist die erste Brücke unterhalb der Île de la Cité und des Pont Neuf. Auf den Pont des Arts folgt flussabwärts der Pont du Carrousel. (Wikipedia)
