"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Soddisfazione agli amici

Avere soddisfazione personale è sempre gratificante, ma quando vedo che anche i miei amici possono godere dello stesso piacere, il mio stesso piacere è più pieno.

Questo mi ha fatto tornare alla mente qualcosa: due dipinti del vittoriano William Paxton.

 

william paxton - the necklace


The Necklace (1910)

 

 

william paxton - the sisters


The Sisters (1904)

 

Sto per uscire e non ho molto tempo, ci tornerò più tard. Per ora lascio le immagini da vedere, con la loro atmosfera di complicità. Qualcuno sostiene che, nonostante i capelli siano raffigurati in modo diverso, le modelle dei due dipinti siano le stesse.

Isaac Asimov’s Gold (and other stories)

It’s unfortunate that I’m coming to this after the very unsatisfactory collection of “fantasy” stories (Asimov never wrote fantasy: he wrote satire), because this was another disappointment. The book is half short stories and half non-fiction, for random reasons, and the non-fiction half is random writings

    Sempre esagitato… :-p

    A me sembra più sensuale la posa nel secondo dipinto (quella seduta nel dipinto del 1910 sarebbe quella in primo piano nel dipinto del 1904). Guarda l’arco della schiena.

    Pensa che Gore Vidal diceva “Riuscire non è abbastanza. Qualcuno deve fallire”…

    Meno male che non siamo tutti come lui!

    Non ho molta dimestichezza con Gore Vidal: il mio ragazzo ha letto Creazione e devo dire che la sua descrizione è riuscita ad allontanarmi mille miglia dal volume. E dire che a lui è pure piaciuto.
