The Arrow And The Song

Yesterday, while being at my girlfriends place, i found a poem in a relatively old book of hers.

among others, i found this one somehow appealing to me.


I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend

Picture related to friendship.
Otherwise unrelated, but i like it :)

Sadness put to pictures

elationistic aesthetics, expressionism, monochromatism, vanitas, futurism, cubism, contrapposto, pastiche, repoussoir, and gradients.

I apology for the rare blogging at the time, i having some exams at the time.
- you should be able to guess at least one. :)
Even though it's a relatively focused topic at the time, I would like to pay off a thought to something that haunts me almost everyday; the palestinian people in gaza, and the terrible stuff they undergo everyday. Along with my thoughts i'll send some chosen pictures which i think is pretty good and fitting. Link to the source in  under the first pictures, worth seeing.

basically I feel helpless. I hope the world will 'wake up', soon enough.

The next 4 pictures here are related to the us war in general. I included these even though they differ from those from gaza, as they  are thought-provoking in another way. I like the first picture of Bush, as i think that you can spot something in his face that expresses just a little bit of sorrow and compassion. Maybe this is a proof that even him, who's standing there trying to hold his tough president-facade with the little american flag, also sometimes can be overwhelmed of the terrifying dread of war.
