Masks маска

We Wear the Mask WE wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— this debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them [...]

autumn

The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up, as if orchards were dying high in space. Each leaf falls as if it were motioning “no.” And tonight the heavy earth is falling away from all other stars in the loneliness. We’re all falling. This hand here is falling. And look at the other [...]

the last of the Nuba

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is [...]

a portret of a naked woman

Just one photo in this post… I stumbled across this portrait of a naked woman and for reasons I still don’t know it attracted me immediately. Is it because of the pureness it shows, the innocence, the natural pose, the eyes… I don’t know. What do you think (see) ?
