an odyssey

melancholia of migration.

if the sun should tumble from the sky




:}

the earth was spinning with its music

The earth turned to bring us closer,
it spun on itself and within us,
and finally joined us together in this dream
as written in the Symposium.
Nights passed by, snowfalls and solstices;
time passed in minutes and millennia.
An ox cart that was on its way to Nineveh
arrived in Nebraska.
A rooster was singing some distance from the world,
in one of the thousand pre-lives of our fathers.
The earth was spinning with its music
carrying us on board;
it didn't stop turning a single moment
as if so much love, so much that's miraculous
was only an adagio written long ago
in the Symposium's score.

the earth turned to bring us closer + eugenio montejo
{translated by peter boyle}


one of my favorite poems. so beautiful!

the stradivarius


director john cameron mitchell on nicole kidman : "there's a different kind of pleasure with working with virtuosic actors --working with the stradivarius... there's a thrill with working with a beautiful, resonant instrument that can respond to gentle guidance."
