Salvador Dali: "Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams"!

"I believe that the moment is near when by a procedure of active paranoiac thought, it will be possible to systematize confusion and contribute to the total discrediting of the world of reality".
"If you understand a painting beforehand, you might as well not paint it".
"We are all hungry and thirsty for concrete images. Abstract art will have been good for one thing: to restore its exact virginity to figurative art".

Cassie Phillips | Let them

If they want to choose something or someone over you,
Let them.
If they want to go weeks without talking to you,

Cassie Phillips | Lasciali fare | La poesia

Se vogliono scegliere qualcosa o qualcuno al posto tuo,
Lasciali fare.
Se vogliono passare settimane senza parlarti,
Lasciali fare.
Se stanno bene a non vederti mai,
Lasciali fare.
Se stanno bene a mettere sempre se stessi al primo posto,
Lasciali fare.

Wisława Szymborska | Ruben's Women

Herculasses, a feminine fauna.
Naked as the crashing of barrels.
Cooped up atop trampled beds.
They sleep with mouths poised to crow.
Their pupils have retreated in the depths,
and penetrate to the heart of their glands,
trickling yeast into their blood.

Peter Paul Rubens | Venus in Front of the Mirror, (1614-1615) | Museo Nacional del Prado

Daughters of the Baroque. Dough bloats in a bowl,
baths are steaming, wines are blushing.
piglets of cloud are dashing across the sky,
trumpets neigh in physical alarm.

O pumpkinned, O excessive ones,
doubled by your unveiling,
trebled by your violent poses,
fat love dishes.

Peter Paul Rubens | Mars and Rhea Silvia, 1617

Their skinny sisters got up earlier,
before dawn broke within the painting,
and no one saw them walking single file
on the unpainted side of the canvas.
Exiles of style. Ribs all counted.


Birdlike feet and hands.
They try to ascend on gaunt shoulderblades.
The thirteenth century would have given them a golden backdrop.
The twentieth, a silver screen.

But the seventeenth has nothing for the flat-chested.
For even the sky curves in relief -
curvaceous angles, a curvaceous god -
a moustached Apollo astride a sweaty steed
enters the steaming bedchamber.

Wisława Szymborska (Polish poet, essayist, translato, and recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature, 1923-2012)

Pope Francis: "Dear Poets, help us Dream"

Below is the letter Pope Francis wrote for the book 'Verses to God: An Anthology of Religious Poetry (italian).

Dear poets,
I know that you hunger for meaning, and that is why you reflect on how faith questions life.
This "meaning" cannot be reduced to a concept. No, it is a comprehensive meaning that encompasses poetry, symbols, and feelings.
The true meaning is not found in the dictionary - that's the meaning of words, and words are merely tools to express everything within us.
