What am I doing
but striking a few little sparks
when what the occasion demands is a comet?
~ Seamus Heaney, interviewed in The Art of Poetry No. 75
Notes:
- Photo: First photograph of a comet. Image obtained by Jules Janssen on June, 30, 1881 (via The Future of the Past)
- Post Inspired by Maurice Vlaminck: “I seem initially to have followed Fauvism, and then to have followed in Cézanne’s footsteps. Whatever – I do not mind… as long as first of all I remained Vlaminck.” (via CozyHuarique)
- Heaney Quote via Schonwieder

To see the Haley’s comets from Vancouver was FANTASTIC! Still remember the days I saw it. Too bad that was the time I do not own a single media to capture the image.

Only in my mind. The comet was as big as an egg lasted for days.
