Great Streets of silence led away
Great Streets of silence led away
To Neighborhoods of Pause --
Here was no Notice -- no Dissent
No Universe -- no laws --
By Clocks, 'twas Morning, and for Night
The Bells at Distance called --
But Epoch had no basis here
For Period exhaled.
-- Emily Dickinson
Welcome! Here I hope you are treated to a small sampling of some of the best the art world has to offer, both written, sculpted, drawn, painted or composed! In a poetry class I am taking, someone said: "No Americans care about quality anymore!" Firstly, I beg to differ. Secondly, I think not only do "Americans" (North, South etc...) care about quality, but so do most of the rest of the world. Whether it is in Japan where the ancient art of making paper by hand is passed down through the generations, or in countries where by necessity and artistry spinning and weaving still lives as an art form, not just a chore, there will always be quality in life. This is why artisans exist. (At least why some do.) You can laugh at my naivete but I honestly believe it is the artists drive in life to give back to the world. And we do. So take a look around, I organized the site in pretty easy to handle chunks I think. Enjoy!
I’ll have an official disclaimer later but here’s my big one. Every poet, author, artist or musician mentioned on this site has been credited with their work. Nothing has been quoted out of context, no entire books, passages or works have been copied and *most* of the art is from artists who are dead. If you are not dead or are a family member and it really annoys you to have art shared with people who maybe can’t get to wherever the art happens to be displayed. Too damn bad. I am tired of people rolling over and playing dead on the internet. :) I have no money, And no, cease and desist orders would not scare me, they would amuse me. This is not for profit, it is for beautification of the soul. Since I am not claiming credit for any of this, or earning money from it, I understand I cant’ REALLY be screwing with the copyright laws too much. So, in the true, kick off your shoes, bohemian, let down your hair spirit, have a good t
