Voilà,
"il me faut choisir entre deux attitudes détestées - ou bien le rêve que
mon intelligence exècre, ou bien l'action, que ma sensibilité a en
horreur ; ou l'action, pour laquelle je ne me sens pas né, ou le rêve,
pour lequel personne n'est jamais né.
Il en résulte, comme je déteste l'un et l'autre, que je n'en choisis aucun, mais comme, dans certaines circonstances, il me faut bien ou rêver, ou agir, je mélange une chose avec l'autre."
Il en résulte, comme je déteste l'un et l'autre, que je n'en choisis aucun, mais comme, dans certaines circonstances, il me faut bien ou rêver, ou agir, je mélange une chose avec l'autre."
Fernando Pessoa " Le livre de l'Intranquillité"
In my old age, I tend to wake every two hours or so. But I seem to find it harder to leave my dreams and return to my reality. Perhaps it's because my reality is so full of the Orange Clown. Your image reminds me of some beings created by Bosch-- except that this fellow is wearing a tie, and standing next to the glass pyramid at the Louvre. Perhaps Bosch is dreaming. Regardless, I like your picture!
RépondreSupprimerPessoa’s reflection captures that uneasy tension between thought and action, where the heart and mind seem forever at odds, leaving us suspended in a delicate blend of dreaming and doing.
RépondreSupprimerA tough decision indeed. Thought is easy. Action often isn't.
RépondreSupprimerThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ☺
Le mélange semble en effet être la solution dans ce cas de détestation, mot fort qui surprend.
RépondreSupprimerTout comme l'homme-oiseau de ton image, si réussie.
Making the decision....... Love the art.
RépondreSupprimerNo matter what the situation, it is hard for me to not be 'on the fence' as far as my decisions at times. Have a happy week.
