Quotation by Antoine de Saint Expurey

 

Death Valley, California

You come across an old typewriter, perhaps in a junk shop. No-one else is around. You have an opportunity to type a few words on the paper, anonymously. What will you write?

 

"..because nothing makes me happier

and nothing makes me sadder than you.."

WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT – TOM JONES

 

Looking for the waxwings

eating apples in the orchard

a big cat came to greet me

he was huge and very forward

He climbed the fence to meet me

to block my view of birds

he told me they were meant for him

hadn't anybody heard

I must admit he made my day

he made me belly laugh

I laughed until my ribs were aching

he told me I was daft

He climbed the fence like he was human

and not a cat at all

but he landed like a cat on all fours

told me a tale so tall

Once upon an eerie moment

he said he'd seen a ghost

while lurking in the nearby churchyard

scratching at a post

It was the spirit of a lady

who carried a lantern bright

she stooped to pick up falling conkers

her body clothed in white

her hair so long and straggly dangled

over her eyes and face

her finger nails were more like talons

that cut through her finest lace

“I think she was a witch”, he said

“and once I was her familiar,

so I hid behind the biggest headstone

in case she beckoned me to her.”

“Were you afraid?”, I asked the cat.

“No, not at all, not really ...

but I'd rather be a humble cat

chasing the waxwings freely.”

He looked well fed and was content

he loved to pose for his portrait

and I was sorry to say goodbye

but had I stayed I would be late

Happy Fence Friday to you my friends

and a Happy Caturday too

It's nice to be back and feeling happy

and it's lovely to see all of you! : 0)

The face of the Olympian Hermes. Just a tiny part of the whole statue. The other parts, represented by Fujifilm boxes, you have to visualise yourself or, since his image is scattered over the world-wide web, you can look it up. Here, I am offering just a visual quotation. It refers to something larger and, at the end of the day, to a long narrative which, in itself, is invisible.

"Dinner for one" is the most played skizze in german TV - no silvester without it:-)

It was listed in 1988 in the Guinness Book of Records as "the world's most frequently repeated television production".

“In the midst of darkness, light persists.”

 

– Mahatma Gandhi in a speech delivered in 1947

"That swimming, sloping, elusive something about the dark-bluish tint of the iris which seemed still to retain the shadows it had absorbed of ancient, fabulous forests where there were more birds than tigers and more fruit than thorns, and where, in some dappled depth, man's mind had been born."

 

Vladimir Nabokov

 

There is something wonderful about finding the perfect quotation to accompany a favorite image.

Verily, all created things were

immersed in the sea of purification...

HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!

In Alsace, most of the little window shutter "cut-outs" I have seen are heart-shaped.❤😍 I was amused to run across this set of old shutters with single 'quote - unquote' cut-outs, instead of hearts.😋

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.' OK. How about, ‘Nobody should throw stones’? That’s crappy behaviour. My policy is, ‘No stone throwing regardless of housing situation.’”

 

—Demetri Martin

 

OK, obviously this isn’t a house. It’s an igloo lounge where you can sit and rest if you want to get out of the cold. Anyway, I found the quotation above, and I thought it fit. :)

When you're not being able to do much there's always technology to make you have a dialogue with your many florals, which I did yesterday. Many quotes spring to mind, but I chose this one.

 

"The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and harmonious tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs to him" ~ August Rodin

Poetography - The word/theme for the week is LEAF/LEAVES..

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a LEAF. By Rabindranath Tagore

 

"If there ever comes a day

Where we can't be together,

Keep me in your heart.

I'll stay there forever." -- Winnie the Pooh

...to rob us of our former selves. (Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey, 'A Woman of Independent Means' )

"I don't want to imagine the time

when I have to stop playing."

~ Fernando Torres ~

 

I loved this quotation, not realizing it was referring to

Fernando Torres, a former Spanish professional football player,

now retired! So I wonder what he's imagining now!

 

Staatstheater gespiegelt im Eckensee, Stuttgart

Love grows when we work at it.

Love overlooks a multitudes of faults.

Love will bring us together.

Love finds away to get together.

Love will keep us together.

This quotation of Amiels “Intimate Diary“ was spinning in my mind this morning.

Or in my words: “ The world in my Self and my Self in the world.“

on little cat feet.

 

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on."

ODC "movie quote"

If You Remember the ’60s, You Really Weren’t There

 

Robin Williams? Charlie Fleischer? Paul Krassner? Paul Kantner? Grace Slick?

 

Dear Quotation Investigator: I lived through the 1960s, but the only thing I remember about it is the following quotation:

 

If you can remember the 1960s, you weren’t really there.

Does anyone recall who said this?

 

Quote Investigator: Yes, many people think they remember who said this. The problem is they disagree: Paul Kantner, Robin Williams, Paul Krassner, Pete Townshend, Grace Slick, Timothy Leary, and many others have been credited with the saying. Of course, no one who was there really remembers.

 

The earliest citation currently known by QI for this expression was found by the outstanding researcher Stephen Goranson.

 

The cite is a two-line article in the Comedy column of the Los Angeles Times in 1982:

 

EXIT LINE: Comedian Charlie Fleischer observes: “If you remember the ’60s, you really weren’t there.”

Apparently it took all of the 1970s to recover from the 1960s and create the quip. Until further citations are located, Charles Fleischer gets the credit.
