Dream Idyll (A Valkyrie) by Edward Robert Hughes (1902)

[mauradusus]

Από πολύ μικρή οι άνθρωποι γύρω μου με θρυμμάτιζαν. Πότε με λέξεις, πότε με πράξεις κι άλλοτε με την απουσία τους. Νόμιζα πως αν μεγάλωνα η βίαιη αυτή εισαγωγή θα έφτανε σε ένα "τέλος". Πάλεψα ξανά και ξανά με περιστάσεις, ρήμαξα γέφυρες κι ανατίναξα δρόμους μα οι πληγές δεν κλείνουν όσο κι αν το προσπαθώ. Πρώτα ξεκίνησε με το μυαλό μου, έπειτα, κάποια χρόνια πριν μόλυνε το κορμί μου κι είμαι ένα πλάσμα ανήμπορο, γεμάτο αυτολύπηση και δυστυχία. Αναρωτιέμαι, συνέχεια αναρωτιέμαι πώς θα ξεφύγω από αυτό το τέλμα, τη μιζέρια της μικρότητας του κόσμου ή έστω πότε θα μπορέσω να την κοιτάξω δίχως το συναισθηματικό πόνο που μου προκαλεί, με ειλικρινή αδιαφορία. Και περιμένω, διαρκώς περιμένω, μήτε γνωρίζοντας αν κάποτε θα 'ρθει αυτή η μέρα.

Brown Pelican by Bernardo Delgado, 2016 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year

Narrator : Since social relations are always ambiguous, since my thoughts divide as much as unite, and my words unite by what they express and isolate by what they omit, since a wide gulf separates my subjective certainty of myself from the objective truth others have of me, since I constantly end up guilty, even though I feel innocent, since every event changes my daily life, since I always fail to communicate, to understand, to love and be loved, and every failure deepens my solitude, since - since - since I cannot escape the objectivity crushing me nor the subjectivity expelling me, since I cannot rise to a state of being nor collapse into nothingness - I have to listen, more than ever I have to look around me at the world, my fellow creature, my brother.

-Jean-Luc Godard

[mauradusus]

From your armchair you ruled the world. Your opinion was correct, every other was mad, wild, meshugge, not normal. Your self-confidence indeed was so great that you had no need to be consistent at all and yet never ceased to be in the right.

— Franz Kafka, Letter to my Father

SATURN DEVOURING HIS SON /1820-23/ by FRANCISCO GOYA,

In this painting, Goya depicts the Greek myth of Cronus. In the story, Cronus (Saturn), one of the Titan gods, hears that he will be overthrown by one of his own children. In an attempt to prevent that from happening, he eats each of his children right after they are born.

This is one in a series of 14 known as the Black Paintings that Goya painted on the walls of his house during his years of self-isolation. He began these paintings at the age of 72. Critics believe that they reflect his fear of going insane, his self-immersed isolation, and well his growing lack of faith in humanity.

These paintings were private and were never meant to be shown to the public. They were not discovered by the public until after Goya’s death. The paintings got transferred from the walls of the Quinta del Sordo, the house he lived in, to canvas in the early 19th century and are now housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid

Goya was suffering from a serious illness, possibly a prolonged case of lead poisoning, which may have contributed to his dark and intense artistic vision during this period. His health issues and isolation from public life influenced the grim themes of his late works.
