A compilation of memory, myth, meaning, language, image, heritage, spirit, and sacrilege, all for the sake of discovering that which is or can be my very own self-affirming truth.

Quote reblogged from Saviour come my way. with 22 notes

let’s find a quiet corner somewhere and beat it up.
lean onto my mouth,
lower your voice down
into mine like a rescue worker.

semperaugustus:

I cannot say
    that I have gone to hell
            for your love
but often
    found myself there
            in your pursuit.

From William Carlos Williams’ “From Asphodel, That Greeny Flower”

Quote reblogged from Sick Sad World with 42 notes

My eyes were often full of tears (I could not tell why) and at times a flood from my heart seemed to pour itself out into my bosom. I thought little of the future. I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.

Quote reblogged from The Rx with 40 notes

Wanted: friendly, companionably reclusive, socially unacceptable, alcoholically abstemious, tirelessly talkative, zealously unzealous, spiritually intense, minimally turquoise, maximally ecstatic moon, seeks moth or moths with similar qualities for purposes of telephonic seduction, Tristanesque trip-taking, and perma-nent flame-fluttering. No photos required, financial status immaterial, all ages and non-competitive vocations considered. Applicants should furnish sets of sample conversation with notarized certification of marital disin-clination, references re: low decibel vocal consistency, itinerary and sample receipts from previous successfully completed out-of-town moth flights. All submissions treated confidentially…
-Glenn Gould, a personal ad found in his effects after he died. It’s unclear whether he ever placed it. (via the-rx)

Sunset on the Alien Planet HD209458b: Osiris
The amazing image above of a sunset on exo-planet HD209458b 150 light years away, was reconstructed by Frederic Pont of the University of Exeter using data from a camera onboard the Hubble Space Telescope.
Pont used his knowledge of how the color of light changes based on chemicals it encounters, and computer modeling, to create an actual image of what a sunset on the actual planet would look like.
The large exo planet in question, exoplanet HD209458b, nicknamed Osiris, circles its star rather closely. At certain points, when the planet passes between us and its star, the light from that star passes through Osiris’s atmosphere before reaching us, which allowed Pont to determine the chemical composition of the atmosphere and deduce what colors would appear to the naked human eye.
The light from Osiris’s star is white, like our own sun, but when it passes through the sodium in Osirisi’s atmosphere, red light in it is absorbed, leaving the starlight to appear blue. But as the sun sets, the blue light is scattered in the same way as it is here on Earth (Rayleigh scattering) causing a gradual change to green, and then to a dim dark green. And finally, due to diffraction, the bottom of the image becomes slightly flattened.

Thus my life is a flight and I lose everything and everything belongs to oblivion, or to him.
