it will not be simple, it will not be long
it will take little time, it will take all your thought
it will take all your heart, it will take all your breath
it will be short, it will not be simple
it will touch through your ribs, it will take all your heart
it will not be long, it will occupy your thought
[…] it will be short, it will take all your breath
it will not be simple, it will become your will
Adrienne Rich (Final Notations)

Francis Bacon :: Enlarged contact sheet of two men wrestling, New York, from the studio of Francis Bacon, circa 1975.

From: ‘The Image as Question: An Exhibition of Evidential Photography’ at Michael Hoppen Gallery / src: theGuardian

“An enlarged contact sheet of two men wrestling in swimming trunks and caps, originally taken by Francis Bacon in New York in 1975, nestled for years in a bin bag in the attic of a Mr Robertson
from Surrey, who turned out to be the artist’s electrician. (Other bin
bags given to him for safekeeping included personal diaries, cashed
cheques, letters and holidays snaps.) The photographs highlighted in red
were used by Bacon as models for painting particular body parts in
motion. They echo another exhibit, a 17-frame series of a nude man
walking by Etienne Jules-Marey, whose motion studies preceded those of
the better-known Eadweard Muybridge.” (quoted from source)

No logro dormirme por el brillo de la luna.
Pensé una y otra vez haber oído una voz llamando,
a la que sin esperanza respondo “Sí” hacia el vacío.

David Delruelle :: Fragment XXXV, 2016

Lo inacabado del fragmento tiene un aliento generador, complicante, no en el sentido de complicar lo simple sino de volvernos cómplices de algo. [Eduardo Milán. Resistir. Insistencias sobre el presente poético.]

Bette Davis, 1950

“Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should ALL be bigger than life.”

wolfson-stuart:

La cuestión se reduce a estar vivo un instante,
aunque sea un instante no más,
a estar vivo
justo en ese minuto
cuando nos escapamos
al mejor de los mundos imposibles.
En donde nada importa,
nada absolutamente –ni siquiera
las grandes esperanzas que están puestas
todas sobre nosotros, todas,
y así pesan.
