Ironic how the impressionists deal with the fleeting ephemereality of the moment just so they expose the "surface."
Post-impressionism
"Looking at the stars always makes me dream...why shouldn't the shining dots of the sky be...accessible...just as we take the train to get to Tarascon...we take death to reach a star."
~Vincent Van Gogh
miguel, if ever you're bored, i recommend acting out john donne's holy sonnet 14 in front of your class. they'll clap for you, i promise, mostly i think because they're glad it's not them doing it. i did it like two and a half weeks ago and was meaning to tell you ever since then, but such is life. the funny things about stories accumulating is that eventually some never get told-ever, in the whole scheme of things. that's a long time. some forms of communication are on the verge of extinction. they're forgotten or go where all the matches to my socks seem to go. i hate when things disappear.
Posted by: lauren-elise therese at February 26, 2005 10:26 AMgreat idea Laur-eli-rese, but I think if I were to get bored I'd read Irving Stone's biographical novel about Vincent Van Gogh...wink,wink,like the stars in the sky......

Nice quote--makes me think of precisely how articulate art can be in our lives.
