We’re gone with the departing;
You know, they depart, and with them we do.
We’re seen with the departing;
You know, they come back, and with them we do.

Optical Illusion
Claude Monet, The Cliff at Fecamp 1881 The Optical Reflection of Matters – as my eyes have seen,
The Mechanical building of Reality – as my mind has done,
The Physical Existence of the World – as my body has lived;
That it’s not real but virtual by a concoction of Optical Illusion
Thwarts every thread of truth against Truth, the Reality of Things
Spelling a concatenation of Physical Existence in their Pristine Essences
Because what I have seen and see is not what it has been and it is
As the trickery of eyes knows not its shenanigans that becomes
Bold and bolder ever till Light of Intellect dawns on me with rains
Of benevolence on the parched earth of my Ignorance with Truth. -
Moonlight Sonata
from google The diamond sparkles of starry night
The lunar beauty ever so bright
The sky becomes a gallery of light. -
My Alpine Path
from google How far shall I tread upon the road to Alpine Path
As rigid as the road to Delphi days and nights
Across a wilderness of delights decayed in weary wrath,
To reach the peaks splendid in secret triumphs? -
Ready, Steady, Play!
In The Box Painting by Mary Stevenson Cassatt from google Life is a scriptless stage and a plotless play.
Learn to perform its demands with wits to the end,
Casting a heavy mantle of bleakness away
Or act in a shadow of sorrows at your wits’ end.
Set the stage with Oblivion and Memory:
Invoke Oblivion when times are gloomy,
Cherish Memory when they are flowery. -
You Are What You Think.
