All Lovely Things

All Lovely Things
By Conrad Aiken

All lovely things will have an ending,
All lovely things will fade and die,
And youth, that's now so bravely spending,
Will beg a penny by and by.

Fine ladies soon are all forgotten,
And goldenrod is dust when dead,
The sweetest flesh and flowers are rotten
And cobwebs tent the brightest head.

Come back, true love! Sweet youth, return!—
But time goes on, and will, unheeding,
Though hands will reach, and eyes will yearn,
And the wild days set true hearts bleeding.

Come back, true love! Sweet youth, remain!—
But goldenrod and daisies wither,
And over them blows autumn rain,
They pass, they pass, and know not whither.

Rene Magritte

Some Of my Favorite Painting by painter Rene Magritte

Attempting the impossible


False Mirror


The Son Of Man


The Lovers


The Dangerous Liaison

Cherchez La Femme

Translation

Cherchez La Femme:The translation from the French is "look for/seek the woman". It is used when a man behaves unusually or gets into a quarrel or other difficulty and the reason for it is sought.

'Cherchez la femme' is sometimes mistakenly thought to refer to men's attempts to pursue romantic liaisons with women. In fact, the phrase, which is occasionally used in its loose English translation 'look for the woman', expresses the idea that the source of any given problem involving a man is liable to be a woman. That isn't to say that the woman herself was necessarily the direct cause of the problem, as in Shakespeare's Macbeth for instance, but that a man has behaved stupidly or out of character in order to impress a woman or gain her favour.

Asking politely she said washed it away down the kitchen sink,Thank you!!

It is something about the band Florence and the Machine that I absolutely adore. Something that captures my attention it could be their videos and meaningful lyrics. Singer Florence voice is something different she has to be my second indie artist after Fiest.
This video reminds me of the movie Alice and The Wonderland. What if Alice never returned home from Wonderland?? and Just stayed and grew old not learning anything from her journey to this place. This video kind of explains my question.
Florence & The Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)

And my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.” Michael Jackson

Since Michael Jackson's Passing the media has been going on and on with stories about the King of Pop. Tired of Turing on the television to hear "New Shocking News" I wish they would just let him Rest In peace and be grateful that he left behind a beautiful gift which was his Creativity through his music and dance. An unforgettable Man he was and the true meaning of The greatest entertainer of all time. Talented not only in his music but his videos as well. Most of which he would give a short movie ending it off with his video. Talented indeed,Jackson produced and directed numerous of his music as well as videos. Absolutely brilliant!!!

May Michael Jackson Rest In Peace
1958-2009

I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it." Elizabeth Taylor

My favorite part in the Movie Cleopatra Starring Elizabeth Taylor. This is an outstanding entrance.

Powerful,Outspoken leader,A Beautiful Women can you say Dashing!!

Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism." Sigmund Freud

Narcissism: Inordinate fascinated with oneself;Excessive self love,Vanity.

Greek Mythology States that Greek God Narcissus was the definition of Beauty;Never able to look at his own reflection. He was not just known for his features but for the fact he rejceted every Nymphs who ever Loved him. Echo Who told fascinated stories and always had the last word until she was cursed. Now only repeating the last word of another individual. It was not until Echo came upon Beautiful Narcissus that she realize her cursed can affect her. She could not be the first to speak wishing to get his attention. Following him around until Finally Narcissus noticed Echo and rejected her just like the others. It is said that One of his lovers asked Artemisis( the goddess of the wilderness, the hunt and wild animals, and fertility) to punish Narcissus: “let him find out what it's like to love someone you can never have”. After deer hunting he came upon a lake were he tried to receive water and came upon beauty. Admired by the presence of beauty he touched the reflection Not knowing that the t was himself who was the water reflection. Finally feeling whats it's like to love something that does not love him back backfired. Gazing upon himself he just sat there and apparently died.


Karma, Karma, and Karma Or could it be he finally realize he was first to love himself before loving others??
According to Thomas Moore "that the greatest "curses" in our lives are actually blessings in disguise because not until we are in a state of need, do we desire change.So was Narcissus in a state of transition?? The reflection he notice was much deeper than the surface, and for the first time he was able to see himself as an object who was now able to love himself.
