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
