i was able to visit my friend, Cristina, a couple weeks ago. her apartment is a comfortable smattering of her collections and containers of things. almost like her own museum.

chateau in loire valley, france. mystery of stained glass solved using our mind. way too modern for the time period--- they were bombed in world war two. such a beautiful, subtle, complex addition to a monument.

i hear every person that comes in and out of my building. sometimes i want to say hello, others to be quiet. be considerate. people live here. then i feel so stereotypical new york.

it's almost time to say goodbye.

as baz luhrman once said, "live in new york, but leave before it makes you too hard. live in california, but leave before it makes you too soft."

as i have been re-decorating, looking at dream bedrooms has been a hobby. i love the above bathroom and bedroom. one day.
gold frames are beautiful, and the above becomes an art piece.

"Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love."

my powers of expression are weak and everything is so hazy in my mind that all contours seem to elude me.

Young Werther on love by Goethe

2011-04-23T00:04:00.000-07:00

the imperfections of language consist in their plurality, the supreme one is lacking: thinking is writing without accessories or even whispering, the immortal word still remains silent; the diversity of idioms on earth prevents everybody from uttering the truths which otherwise, at one single stroke, would materialize as truth.

A collection of science is gathered primarily in the interests of the real, a collection of art in the interest of the ideal. the former is a panorama of fact, the latter a paradise of fancy. in the former we learn, in the latter we admire. A museum of science is in essence a school; a museum of art is in essence a temple. Minerva presides over the one, sacred to reason; Apollo over the other, sacred to the imagination.

Benjamin Ives Gilman, 1908.

Even an artist knows that his work was never in his mind, he could never have thought it before it happened.

The mystery of a beautiful photograph really is revealed when nothing is obscured. We recognize that nothing has been withheld from us, so that we must complete its meaning.

Religious Question

When my wife said, "Oh angel, angel, angel, you'll save me'
in her sleep
I wondered who the hell this angel was and why
the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition is such a god-damned
chronic, infectious, unbeatable brain disease
that even my own true wife, my passionate atheist,
my politically anticlerical lover must dream
of an angelic love and savior to devil her sleep
and I must be jealous of her devilishly heavenly incubus.

Alan Dugan
