I Wish You All a Wonderful Autumn 2024!

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), Autumn’s trees

John Keats (1795–1821)
John Keats's 1819 six odes (1819)
“TO AUTUMN”

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤


Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.


Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.


Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,-
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river shallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

And, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, then...
I Wish You a Happy Spring 2024!


"Who's that then?"
"I dunno, must be a King."
"Why?"
"He hasn't got shit all over him."

True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learned to dance.

~
Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
An Essay on Criticism, Part II (1711)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

You write with ease, to show your breeding,
But easy writing's curst hard reading.

~
Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
Clio's Protest (1819)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

~
Lord George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
Don Juan, Canto III (1819–1824)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

The sentiment of art like the religious sentiment, like scientific curiosity, is born of wonder; the man who wonders at nothing lives in a state of imbecility and stupidity.
~
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)
Lectures on Aesthetics: Symbolic Art (1826)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all;
...
Experience acclaims as happiest the man who has made the greatest number of people happy.
~
Karl Heinrich Marx (1818-1883)
Letter to His Father (1837)

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
~
Saint Ernesto Che Guevara, Comandante Amigo! (14 June 1928, Rosario, Argentina – 9 October 1967, La Higuera, Bolivia)
Letter in reply to a letter from a certain Señora María Rosario Guevara from Casablanca asking of his origins (1964)

You are all geniuses, and you are all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace, think peace, live peace, and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.
~
John Lennon (1940–1980)
Statement to the press in July 1969 after the release of the Plastic Ono Band's single "Give Peace a Chance"

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

When the child was a child, it didn’t know that it was a child, everything was soulful, and all souls were one.
~
Peter Handke (6 December 1942)
"Song of Childhood", Der Himmel über Berlin (1987)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

Follow your dreams. Don't let anything stop you!
