Temptation (Part 1)




"There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice." - Mark Twain

Temptation (Part 2)

                     
                        "The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield                                                to it." - Oscar Wilde


The Bride of the Wind (A Symphony in Red & Green)



"Whether fair wind or foul, this is the Bride of the Wind.


Who is the Bride of the Wind? 


Can she read faultless French? 


What wood does she burn to keep herself warm? 


She keeps herself warm with her intense life, 


her mystery, her poetry. 


She has read nothing, but she has absorbed everything. 


She cannot read. 


Yet the nightingale has seen her, 


sitting on the stone of spring, reading. 


And although she read in silence, 


the animals & the horses listened in admiration." 


- Max Ernst.
