Pablo Neruda | Per tanto amore la mia vita.. / De tanto amor mi vida..

Per tanto amore la mia vita si tinse di viola

e andai di rotta in rotta come gli uccelli ciechi

fino a raggiungere la tua finestra, amica mia:

tu sentisti un rumore di cuore infranto

e lì dalle tenebre mi sollevai al tuo petto,

senz'essere e senza sapere andai alla torre del frumento,

sorsi per vivere tra le tue mani,

mi sollevai dal mare alla tua gioia.

Leonid Afremov (1955-2019) | Romantic Impressionist painter

Walt Whitman | Non lasciare che finisca il giorno senza essere cresciuto un po'..

Non lasciare che finisca il giorno senza essere cresciuto un po',

senza essere stato felice, senza avere aumentato i tuoi sogni.

Non lasciarti vincere dallo scoraggiamento.

Non permettere che nessuno ti tolga il diritto ad esprimerti,

che e' quasi un dovere.

Non lasciar cadere la tensione di fare della tua vita

qualcosa di straordinario.

Jon Bøe Paulsen, 1958 | The Blue Hour

Here he started his relentless pursuit of a variety of drawing techniques and the use of colors.
