Illustration for Heinrich Heine poem ‘Altes Kaminstück’ Exhibition Heine

Neue Gedichte: Zur Ollea: ‘Altes Kaminstück’

Outside, white snowflakes are blowing
Through the night: the storm is loud:

Here I’m alone, beside the blazing

Hearth inside, warm, quietly bowed.

I sit here in my chair, just thinking,

Here beside the crackling glow,

Kettle humming, as its boiling,

Melodies from long ago.

And my little cat sits near me

Warms its paws beside the coals,

While the flames are flickering, weaving

Brave imaginings in my soul.

Now many a long forgotten age

Rises in twilight air,

As if in shining masquerade,

And faded splendour, there.

Lovely women with knowing glances

Beckoning with sweet mystery,

And Harlequins in prancing dances

Leaping, laughing merrily.

Marble gods from furthest distance

Greet me: near them, dreamlike, grow

Flowers, from tales, that entrance

In the moonlight glow.

Many a magic castle, rising,

Swims uncertainly to view,

Behind them gleaming knights riding

And with them pageboys too.

And all of this goes flashing by,

Hurrying on in shadow flight –

Ah! The kettle’s boiling over,

And the little cat howls with fright.

Happy new year to all my friends!

Tempus fugit. The Time flees for all of us, and remembering Virgil's "But it flees in the meantime: irretrievable time flees" and before it will be late...or too late...

Adriana

and myself we decided to walk again the roads of Italy through towns and villages, on lakes and hills and gardens.

Notes:
The Baroque Sculpture Garden is the Villa Barbarigo Pizzoni Ardemani near Padua. http://www.valsanzibiogiardino.it/index.html
The Horses Fountain is from Trento
The landscapes views are from Asolo
The lake is Levico
The modern sculpture exhibition is in the stronhold castle of Pergine Valsugano
The painted students are young doctors in Psychology from Padua
The touristic inscription of the Palazzo Salvadori and the sculpture (under) are from Trento, from the Jewish Ghetto. Not only the Armenian Genocide is denied but also the crimes against the Jewish community in Italy. The Jews were not only "persecuted", but tortured, beheaded and burned at the stake.

Maybe someday I will write the Garden Events Blog, but till then see the images of Adriana's flowers, beautiful than ever after the rains.

A Palestine photographer on the Pont des Arts -Paris

A window of a bookshop in Paris; the owner told Adriana that she is not "allowed" to take pictures; but it was too late :-)

The classical shot of Paris of course

Go to France... but...

There also the artists are (not) selling their works in the street

It is not enough to be big to win

The best posters are made by underground artists

a coffee costs money (DRINK AT THE BAR!)

...and BEWARE: this year is the French strike year for metro, bus, train and airport!

Action Sociale!

...you'll get caught in the most beautiful prison...

...so think before!

This is the size of a matchbox (Clunny)

May the angels ...

and the devil...(Cluny)

and all the creatures may help you

in your travels!

When the Future looks at you ...

A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir. Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs. (Susan Sontag)
