Suppose
Life is an old man carrying flowers on his head.
Young death sits in a cafe
Smiling, a piece of money held between
His thumb and first finger
(I say "will he buy flowers" to you
And "Death is young
Life wears velour trousers
Life totters, life has a beard."
I say to you who are silent,
"Do you see Life? He is there and here,
Or that, or this
Or nothing or an old man three thirds
Asleep, on his head
Flowers, always crying
To nobody something about les
Roses les bluets
Yes, will He buy?
Les belles bottes-oh hear,
pas cheres")
And my love slowly answered I think so, but
I think I see someone else there is a lady, whose name is Afterwards
She is sitting beside young death, is slender;
Likes flowers.
~E. E. Cummings
Photography by Barbara Vidal. She is really amazing. Her photography is so sophisticated, but so haunting, almost eerie. She did this amazing
photoshoot called "Ladies Hawk":
I love how it was shot in bed. It just makes the photos seem all the more lazy, daydreamy.
I have received an award from the wonderful Elvy! Visit her blog, guys. It's like a total dream. This is the most adorable little award I have ever seen.
I'll be passing it on to:
Stardust, a gorgeous new blog I recently discovered.
Also, a big thanks to McCall for introducing me to Makool, after I said I liked Free People in the previous post. Makool has such beautiful clothes and they are all handmade, so they are environmentally friendly. So you can save the earth while stylishly adorned in vintage-looking, independent handmade clothes. Check out their blog, which is really cool (I'll be adding it to my blog roll momentarily). Here are some photos for your own viewing enjoyment:
And their jewelry is just exquisite:
I'm currently coveting these lovely Mary Janes from the Etsy shop Elephant and Chickpea (what an interesting name)
I'm not sure which one to get, but I'm sort of leaning towards the mustard color ones, but if I want to get those, I'll have to wait a week or so, because now they're all sold out.
Which do YOU think I should get?
Also, I fooled around with some more of my photos. Here is the most recent batch I edited:
I think I like the last one the best...
What about you?
