PLATO ~ ON KNOWLEDGE
And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.

A BRIDGE TOO FAR – BY MONIQUE LUCY WEBERINK AND VICTOR M. ALONSO
NOCHE DE MARZO.
Las aves cantan en la noche,
La madrugada tierna
Que escucha el pensamiento.
Son mis sensaciones fraguadas
En recuerdos distantes
Y urdidas de presente.
Es la fragancia intensa,
Persistente, de una palabra
Valiosa, imprescindible,
Que fragua la miel del silencio.
Porque yo quiero en esta noche
De invierno en calma
Modelar tu cintura
Dame una flor y un verso,
Un fragor distinto y un beso,
Mientras guardando yo estaré tu luz
Bajo la luna.

SIGMUND FREUD ~ DREAMING DREAMING
We should remember that the fact that most people take but little interest in their dreams is conducive to the forgetting of dreams. Anyone who for some time applies himself to the investigation of dreams, and takes a special interest in them, usually dreams more during that period than at any other; he remembers his dreams more easily and more frequently”

FRANTISEK KUPKA ~ THE WAY OF SILENCE
“The Way of Silence” (1900-1903) by Frantisek Kupka (1871-1957)
According to Audrey Wagtberg Hansen in her article “Cold Gods and Fatal Women. “The Many Faces of the Sphinx in the 19th Century”, Kupka’s Way of Silence was “inspired by the poem Dream-land by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), [where] we see a lone traveler on a seemingly endless road under a starry sky, flanked by two rows of stone sphinxes. A Latin text on the pedestal of the front sphinx, ‘QUAD AD CAUSUM SUMUS’ (= why are we?), again poses a life-and-death question.”
Although Kupka’s painting certainly doesn’t correspond to Poe’s Dream-land (1850) in the particulars of its imagery, its depiction of a pathway through eternity certainly captures the atmosphere of the poem’s opening stanza:
BY a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule –
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of SPACE – out of TIME

IMPRESIONES (2)
BLUE PAGE
(Sobre un trabajo de Monique Lucy Weberink)
No es sólo la distancia,
Es el tiempo el que abre
El azul de la mar
Que golpea esta noche de vigilia.
Hacia qué latitudes se dirige
El pensamiento exhausto,
Esa mirada tierna
De tu alma que tiembla ?
Qué insinúa tu mano,
Qué rumbos añora trazar
En el océano racial,
Tormentoso, de la existencia ?
Es mía la sangre que moja
El rojo centro del espacio,
El piélago supremo
Que arde de nostalgia
Y urde marejadas de pasión.
