Norman Lindsay
The Moon’s My Constant Mistress
1918
“Published in the book Bedlamite Verses of the XVI and XVII Centuries for Tom O’Bedlam.
“Tom o’ Bedlam” is the title of an anonymous poem in the “mad song” genre, written in the voice of a homeless “Bedlamite”. The poem was probably composed at the beginning of the 17th century. In How to Read and Why Harold Bloom called it “the greatest anonymous lyric in the [English] language.”
The terms “Tom o’ Bedlam” and “Bedlam beggar” were used to describe beggars and vagrants who had or feigned mental illness (see also Abraham-men). Aubrey writes that such a beggar could be identified by “an armilla of tin printed, of about three inches breadth” attached to his left arm. They claimed, or were assumed, to be former inmates of the Bethlem Royal Hospital (Bedlam). It was commonly thought that inmates were released with authority to make their way by begging, though this is probably untrue. If it happened at all, the numbers were small, though there were probably large numbers of mentally ill travellers who turned to begging, but had never been near Bedlam. It was adopted as a technique of begging, or a character. For example, Edgar in King Lear disguises himself as mad “Tom o’ Bedlam”.”

'No riches on earth compare to the arts. Tell me - what is it to feel, to express, to take delight, to see oneself reflected, to experience the stories of others?' 'Surely,' I said, 'that is to be alive.'
From Orphia and Eurdydicius by Elyse John

Dancing
In high school, I was "into" music (I was in the band, I was a member of a girl group called Lauren and the Shining Pearls etc.). I was not into dancing as much. I was not a member of the girl's dance group and I did not dance much at parties. I did a "different" dance. I once performed in a concert called 'Dancing with Guitars.' I had fun playing the guitar for the audience (that included other students and some teachers).
I enjoy watching dancing though. I enjoy watching music videos with dancing (such as Michael Jackson videos). I enjoy live dance performances including ballet. In high school, I watched a waltz by students in the first batch to the song 'Time of My Life.' I liked all of it - the song, the waltz, the performance. The song (included below) has a nice beat and makes you want to move.
Incidentally, the same teacher (Mr. Wyatt) organized the dances mentioned above - the "different" dance with guitars, the dance by the girls in my batch, and the waltz. He even trained the students. He has many talents.

#sentimentsofsankofa / #standingontheshouldersofgiants Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ We'd like to take a moment to pay homage to Noble Sissle & Eubie Blake... Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake broke racist traditions when they performed in tuxedos. Noble Sissle, a lyricist and vocalist, and Eubie Blake, a composer and pianist, were the first black performers in the U.S. that refused to perform in blackface. The Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake piano-vocal duo's commitment to present authentic black artistry went far beyond music. The musical duo appeared as a vaudeville act and were featured in pioneering sound films. The prominent pair revolutionized the American stage with #ShuffleAlong. Shuffle Along; a musical, co-written with Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles; gave birth to #blacktheatre. Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake broke color barriers when Shuffle Along became the first black musical to appear #onBroadway. Shuffle Along ran a recorded setting 500 performances on #Broadway, launching the careers of the most sought after #blackentertainers; including, Florence Mills, Josephine Baker, and Paul Robenson. Nobble Sissle and Eubie Blake may be best known for their musical talents; which introduced #Jazz to the Silver Screen. However; we salute their #audicity and #selfrespect. Their courage to present themselves as #respectableblackmen during performances and their dedication to provide a platform that portrayed blacks beyond racial stereotypes inspired a movement. Albeit #thearts, education, or culture; Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake paved the way for the authentic #blackvoice. They stimulated a movement of #blackexpression and #blackpride, which grew to become known as The #HarlemRenaissance. -Stevie #historyheritageandhumanities ・・・ #scribesandvibes • #therebirthofcool • #NobleSissle • #EubieBlake • #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWUgCrghjH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nacho catches Lalo tinkering with his car. Lalo catches Nacho for a kiss on the shoulder.
This has been a super fun collab between @littledozerdraws and I. He provided the gorgeous sketch and I did the linework, colour and background. Looking forward to the second sketch of his I have on on my to-do list 👀
