what a piece of work is man
how noble in reason
how infinite in faculty
in form and moving
how express and admirable
in action how like an angel
in apprehension how like a god
the beauty of the world
the paragon of animals...
this is where
hamlet and i
part ways
there are times when
the human spirit touches me
in so deep a place
that although i know i shall
return to dust
i cannot believe us to be
the quintessence of dust
and 'man'
delights me so
have you seen
this?
if you haven't
go
now
bear witness to
le coup
phillipe petit
weaves a spider's web
between those towers
and
walks on a cloud
afterward he said
when i see three oranges i juggle
when I see two towers i walk
and when i saw
phillipe walk
i sewed
petite philippe
and in honor of
the woman who walked
by his side
petite annie
may we all
wake to our dream
and
walk on a cloud

Oh Adrienne. And today my hands touched something your hands have touched and I, oh. I was moved.
ReplyDeleteYou are an artist, a poet, and your art is poetry and your poetry is art.
I do not have the words to thank-you. But I thank-you. Your spirit is nestled right next to my backbone and thus, you walk with me.
Oh, yes. I saw this movie when it came out and I absolutely adored it. You should also check out the children's book called The Man Who Walked Between the Towers. It's gorgeous. And so is your art!
ReplyDeleteGood one on gratitude and it helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Karim - Mind Power
Beautiful work. And I loved that you were inspired by a daredevil. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
deep felt thanks to you all for your kind words.
ReplyDeletekarim, your link seems to be broken. how can i find you?
tears, ms moon.
Didn't see it. Rented the dvd and my husband fell asleep before the movie, and I had to return it. Now for sure I will rent it again.
ReplyDeleteYou made those two dolls? That's absolutely spectacular work! I love them more than I can say!
(Check out the little box with Voltaire's quote in my blog sidebar. I just linked this post there.)
I have seen Man on Wire - astounding. And yes...you are an artist with your words, indeed.
ReplyDeletewow that trailer- I am already in tears. I don't know if I could watch the entire film!
ReplyDeletehow very inspiring and your work that came out of it- I love it. You are a talent.
