This blog explores my fascination with art and music, and with juxtaposing them in unique ways.
My photos, photos by others, Baroque painting, Andy Goldsworthy, Japanese prints, the occasional silent film, opera and classical music, Sufjan Stevens, DM Stith, whatever I'm listening to right now. Disclaimer: I don't make any money from this. I post solely to bring attention to my favorite art and music. If you are an artist whose work has been featured on my blog, and you would like me either to correct information or remove the work in question, please contact me and I will remedy it ASAP.Samuel Yirga - I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun (Rotary Connection cover)

My dearest, my fairest
My dearest, my fairest,
My dearest, my fairest,
I languish for you.
Thy kindness has won me,
Thy charm has undone me,
I ne’er, no, ne’er shall be free.
I faint with the pleasure I fain would repeat,
Ah why are love’s raptures so short and so sweet,
Thus pressing and kissing, fresh joys we’ll pursue
And ever be happy and ever be true.
But alas, should you change
Ah, tell me not so
No never my dearest
No never my fairest
No, no, my dearest (my fairest) no, no.
