"A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing."
Under Siege
Here on the slopes of hills, facing the dusk and the cannon of time
Close to the gardens of broken shadows,
We do what prisoners do,
And what the jobless do:
We cultivate hope.
A country preparing for dawn. We grow less intelligent
For we closely watch the hour of victory:
No night in our night lit up by the shelling
Our enemies are watchful and light the light for us
In the darkness of cellars.
Here there is no "I".
Here Adam remembers the dust of his clay.
On the verge of death, he says:
I have no trace left to lose:
Free I am so close to my liberty. My future lies in my own hand.
Soon I shall penetrate my life,
I shall be born free and parentless,
And as my name I shall choose azure letters...

ALL with Palestine ! We don't forget !

Ici, aux pentes des collines, face au crépuscule et au canon du temps
Près des jardins aux ombres brisées,
Nous faisons ce que font les prisonniers,
Ce que font les chômeurs :
Nous cultivons l’espoir.
Un pays qui s’apprête à l’aube. Nous devenons moins intelligents
Car nous épions l’heure de la victoire :
Pas de nuit dans notre nuit illuminée par le pilonnage.
Nos ennemis veillent et nos ennemis allument pour nous la lumière
Dans l’obscurité des caves.
Ici, nul « moi ».
Ici, Adam se souvient de la poussière de son argile.
Au bord de la mort, il dit :
Il ne me reste plus de trace à perdre :
Libre je suis tout près de ma liberté. Mon futur est dans ma main.
Bientôt je pénètrerai ma vie,
Je naîtrai libre, sans parents,
Et je choisirai pour mon nom des lettres d’azur...
Mahmoud Darwich.
ALL with Palestine ! We don't forget !

ODC - Heavy, project365 - #104/365
A recent find at a junk shop. My idea is to fill it with big dried hydrangeas to decorate a corner of my living room.
The colour turned out rather nicely on this except for the lil drip marks here and there. I am enjoying the making process but just not the glazing part. Need lots more practise for that!
Small brown ceramic bottle, possibly used for ginger beer.
Ginger beer and other soda waters were supplied by Victorian chemists, often in small ceramic bottles. By the start of the 20th Century, there were a number of soft drinks manufacturers in many Scottish towns and resorts. Ginger beer continued to be sold in stoneware bottles even after other drinks were being bottled in glass.
This is one of eight bottles found at West Craigs Farm, Blackridge.

Chinese porcelain lidded vase complete with the lid which has a knop in the form of the dog of foo. It was made during the early Peoples Republic Period.
Circa 1950/1960.
Mark: Qianlong Nian Zhi - "Qianlong Period (1736-1795) Make". The style of the decoration is characteristic of the period before
the Cultural Revolution which started in 1965.
Faint horizontal mold mark is visible on this vase which is additional dating evidence.
In the Chinese porcelain production an important improvement was made around 1949, when the Chinese porcelain potters modernized the process by starting to use vertically divided molds made of gypsum (plaster of Paris) instead of the earlier, horizontally divided bisqued ceramic molds.
Height: 21cm
If Catania was the scary place to be, Taormina was the complete opposite. A small, affluent town and as the taxi drivers told us, very safe ...
