The work by Ernest Christophe (1827-1892) entitled Le Baiser suprême (The Supreme Kiss or The Sphinx), marble, exhibited posthumously at the Salon of 1892, shows a young man in a terminal embrace with a sphinx or chimera.

[schizografia]

Sono in lei radunate le grazie fiorentine:

in un corpo che insieme è solido e flessuoso

stanno Eleganza e Forza, due sorelle divine.

E’ una donna mirabile, frutto miracoloso,

stupendamente salda, eppure assai leggera,

fatta per troneggiare sopra un letto sontuoso,

e d’un papa o d’un principe attizzare i piaceri.

– Vedi come il sorriso è fine e voluttuoso:

in quella fatuità trascorre dolce un’estasi,

nello sguardo un’ambigua e languida ironia,

un velo intorno al viso la seduzione desta,

ogni tratto ci dice con trionfante malia:

“La Voluttà mi chiama, l’Amore m’incorona”.

Vedi che forte fascino dona la gentilezza

a colei che di tanta maestà si corona.

Su, giriamole intorno, scrutiamo la bellezza.

O artificio blasfemo, sorprendente malizia!

E’ un mostro bicefalo questo corpo di luce

che riverbera un mondo di suprema delizia!

– No, è solo una maschera quel volto che seduce

e che una fine smorfia ora va rischiarando.

Ma osserva il volto vero com’è atrocemente

raggrinzito e com’è arrovesciato standosene

al riparo del primo artefatto sembiante.

Povera sovrumana bellezza, il tuo bel rivo

di lacrime nel cuore spaurito si riversa,

mi fa ebbro il tuo inganno, e l’anima s’abbevera

al flutto che il Dolore dalle pupille versa.

– Perché ora piange, lei, l’avvenente regina

che terrebbe ai suoi piedi l’umanità sperduta?

Quale oscuro male l’è al bel fianco spina?

– Insensato, lei piange proprio perché ha vissuto.

E perché vive. E quello che più e più deplora

e che tutta la scuote è il fatto che poi,

domani, è necessario, ahimé, vivere ancora,

domani, posdomani, e sempre: come noi!

Charles Baudelaire, La maschera

[scottguy]

I swear every perfect marble sculpture seems like an impossible miracle... and yet there it stands.

THE MOON MAIDEN’S SONG

Sleep ! Cast thy canopy

Over this sleeper’s brain,

Dim grow his memory,

When he wake again.

Love stays a summer night,

Till lights of morning come ;

Then takes her winged flight

Back to her starry home.

Sleep ! Yet thy days are mine ;

Love’s seal is over thee :

Far though my ways from thine,

Dim though thy memory.

Love stays a summer night,

Till lights of morning come ;

Then takes her winged flight

Back to her starry home.

Ernest Christopher Dowson

Winnie the Pooh quotes

Piglet: “How do you spell ‘love’?” Pooh: “You don’t spell it… you feel it.”

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have and one of the nicest things you can be.

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.

“We’ll be Friends Forever, won’t we, Pooh?” asked Piglet. “Even longer,” Pooh answered.

How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

What’s wrong with knowing what you know now and not knowing what you don’t know until later?

If it’s not Here, that means it’s out There.

If people are upset because you’ve forgotten something, console them by letting them know you didn’t forget—you just weren’t remembering.

I always get to where I'm going by walking away from where I have been.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

I wonder how many wishes a star can give.

Those who are clever, who have a Brain, never understand anything.

Because Poetry and Hums aren’t things which you get, they’re things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you.

“What day is it?” asked Pooh. “It's today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh.

Then said my voices:

'Wherefore strive or run, On dusty highways ever, a vain race? The long night cometh, starless, void of sun, What light shall serve thee like her golden face?'

For I had pondered on a rune of roses, And knew some secrets which the moon discloses.
