I muse

I used to hate Andre Breton and his surrealist movement when I was at school. Like, what sense did any of it make? Didn't these people have better things to do than to try and pin down the mecanism of thought through the scribing of unbidden ideas, without paying heed to reason or logic? Dreams, unconscious desires. Hopes. Yes, but where does it get you?

Of all the ways the sunflower has of loving the light, regret is the most beautiful shadow on the sundial.

Beautiful words which may make no sense. I've read some of his Manifestos for my course, and really on a superficial level, it's just nonsense. I'm not too keen on overanalysing the hidden meanings, it kills it. Just let it be.


Look, it's Dave and Hester (isn't that a nice name? I never think it's weird, I just associate it with Lee Scoresby's hare daemon)




Edit: Oh, Sidney has disappeared ;_;
