“Inside the huge romanesque church the tourists jostled in the half darkness.
Vault gaped behind vault, no complete view.
A few candle-flames flickered.
An angel with no face embraced me
and whispered through my whole body:
“Don’t be ashamed of being human, be proud!
Inside you vault opens behind vault endlessly.
You will never be complete, that’s how it’s meant to be.”
Blind with tears
I was pushed out on the sun-seething piazza
together with Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Herr Tanaka and Signora Sabatini
and inside them all vault opened behind vault endlessly.”— Romanesque Arches, Tomas Tranströmer (trans. Robin Fulton)
not to be dramatic but a hyperfixation on beauty ruins art and thats why all the looks are so boring/unimaginative for the met gala . where’s the UGLINESS? wheres the NARRATIVE? where’s the SHAMELESS DECADENCE as a VISUAL SHORTHAND to express EUPHORIC RELIGIOUS RAPTURE? this isn’t the time for clean simplicity and restraint! honestly
love galore
