Bach “reinforces and lifts and rounds out his edifice of notes far above the church into a starry space full of nobly perfect systems, as though God had gone to sleep and handed over to him His staff and mantle. He makes the lightning play from towering clouds and throws open serene sunny spaces, he triumphantly guides forth planets and suns, he rests relaxed at high noon and at the proper hour elicits the cool showers of evening. And he ends in splendor and power like the setting sun and, as he falls silent, leaves the world full of glory and of soul…”
> Quote from Hermann Hesse - “Old Music”.

Darkness Consumingby *YukiRamaro
Years ago, when my mother was pregnant with me, she went to the doctors to have an ultrasound. She found that she was having twins.
A few weeks later she had another ultrasound and discovered that I had resorbed the other fetus.
Do I regret my actions? No.
I believe his tissue has made me stronger.
I now have the strength of a man AND a little baby. (statement by the artist from deviant.art

An animated version of Plato’s Cave, narrated by Orson Welles
The soothing baritone of Orson Welles brings Plato’s ancient story of The Cave to life in this animated short from 1973.
If I have a son, I will name him Orson or Osmond - or both.
