Remain in light

Renounce your fears

Break this spell of silence

Dead Can Dance, Mesmerism

I walked the unwalked garden of rose-beds

In the public park; at home felt the want

Of a single rose present to imagine

The garden´s remainder in full paint

Sylvia Plath, 

Fable of the rhododendron stealers

I will tear the petals off of you
Rose-red, I will make you tell the truth 

Hole, Asking for it

There's a face behind a gun
That sleeps behind the owl

[...]

Dim
Birdsong
Teethless
Sunset
The flowers smile

Current 93, Sunset (The Death of Thumbelina)

Join my tears

Allay my fears

The Stone Roses, Sally Cinnamon

 

I am she who adorned herself and folded her hair

expectantly,

My truant lover has come and it is dark

 Walt Whitman, Leaves of grass [The sleepers]

Woody Allen, Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)

I'll take a second of the day to think about the things that we have done this year

It's the colour of blood, chaos and corruption of a happy soul,
a happy soul will ride in the field

Me pregunto qué color tendrá el año 24.

Belle And Sebastian, The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner

Nadie impedirá que un alfiler se clave en la eternidad

The sun blooms, it is a geranium

The heart has not stopped

I hide myself within my flower,
That fading from your Vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me -
Almost a loneliness

All about Lily Chou-Chou, Shunji Iwai, 2001

- Mais qu´est-ce que signifie "éphémère"? répéta le petit prince qui, de sa vie, n´avait renoncé à une question, une fois qu´il l´avait posée.

- Ça signifie "qui est menacé de disparition prochaine".

-Ma fleur est menacée de disparition prochaine?

-Bien sûr.

"Ma fleur est éphémère, se dit le petit prince, et elle n´a que quatre épines pour se défendre contre le monde! Et je l´ai laissée toute seule chez moi!"

Le petit prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry

I'll never love again
Can I say that to you?

Por un 2011 in bloom,

en continua, plena floración

(Wishing you an in bloom 2011)

Nirvana, In bloom

Me cruzas, muerte, con tu enorme manto
de enredaderas amarillas.

(...)

Lenta, muy lenta, muerte, en la belleza
tan lenta del otoño.
