  1. Ah! Sun-flower

    By William Blake

    Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
    Who countest the steps of the Sun:
    Seeking after that sweet golden clime
    Where the travellers journey is done.

    Where the Youth pined away with desire,
    And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow:
    Arise from their graves and aspire,
    Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.

  3. "The damps of death fall thick upon me! Horrors stare me in the face! I look behind, there is no returning; Death follows after me; I walk in the regions of Death." - #WilliamBlake, 'The Couch Of Death' [OK, not from 'The Grave' - but let's not be pedantic] #WyrdWednesday #poetrysky #Gothic

  4. Ah, another article where someone brings up William Blake as if his oceanic visions are going to be our savior from AI overlords 🤖. Because nothing screams "modern solution" like an 18th-century poet sitting by the sea 🌊. Surely, Blake's spectral musings will single-handedly halt the impending machine apocalypse 🦾.

  11. Derart begeistert von »Love Lies Bleedin« (2024), dass ich mir nun auch Regie-Debüt von #RoseGlass gegönnt habe. »Saint Maud« (2019). Unglaubliches Spiel von Morfydd Clark als Heimpflegerin Maud mit nem Knacks, und Pallativpatientin Jennifer Ehle. Ruhiger, intimer und poetischer Psycho-Horror mit kräftigen religösen Aspekten. Gänsehaut vom Feinsten. Unterdrückte Leidenschaften und so.
    BONUS: #WilliamBlake Kunst kommt vor.

  12. If there is hope for film-making, it is somewhere else.
    Hollywood has long become a mere industry
    in the "dark Satanic mills" sense.

    And to repeat the well-known, monopolies and oligopolies are BAD.

    But it has all been said before.
    If I had the time, I would watch again
    The Player
    and
    S1m0ne
    and then to cheer myself up,
    François Truffaut's
    Day for Night
    ("American Night", La Nuit Américaine).

    "Ars Gratia Artis",
    gone with the wind...

  14. Awake! Awake Jerusalem! O lovely Emanation of Albion
    Awake and overspread all Nations as in Ancient Time
    For lo! the Night of Death is past and the Eternal Day
    Appears upon our Hills: Awake Jerusalem, and come away

    William Blake, Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion, Plate 97.

  15. He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: General Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized particulars.

  24. "Tyger, Tyger"
    Teableau for 09/11/25

    Tyger Tyger burning bright,
    In the forests of the night:
    What immortal hand or eye,
    Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
