A Dada Day.
The image is by Sophie Tauber-Arp and is to be found in the NMWA. The day began with Dada and I suppose it shall end thusly. I hope to include the link to the Women’s Art Museum on the blogroll when I have a little more time to do so. In the meantime Dada and it’s place […]

“Cartron Lake at Twilight” By Sonia Kelly

He knocks the stones together to get out the green Remember with your feet as you descend that there’s gold […]

Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers that there is in it afterall, a place for the genuine.” The original Poetry had 29 lines which Marianne Moore excised, retaining only the first three lines. Those three […]

i like this frances castle image.
it’s called ‘femwrest‘ today we watched a seagull creche and flying school above a church in Howth. They babble a lot. Howth has some excellent secondhand bookshops and walks. The Church and Cloister was originally dated 1042 and looms over the town. Upon the gateway there is a notice giving the name and address of […]
