"Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging..."

“

Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

”

- Strange Fruit- Billie Holiday

There is beauty in the world; there is goodness in the world: kindess, strength, and intelligence too. Sometimes it’s just easier to see in the sunlight.

Free Jazz. It’s a thing. Can’t say it’s my favorite, but it is most definitely a thing.

Specifically a thing I need to write a paper on…

Voici des fruits, des fleurs, des feuilles et des branches

Et puis voici mon cœur qui ne bat que pour vous.

Ne le déchirez pas avec vos deux mains blanches

Et qu’à vos yeux si beaux l’humble présent soit doux.

J’arrive tout couvert encore de rosée

Que le vent du matin vient glacer à mon front.

Souffrez que ma fatigue, à vos pieds reposée,

Rêve des chers instants qui la délasseront.

Sur votre jeune sein laissez rouler ma tête

Toute sonore encore de vos derniers baisers ;

Laissez-la s’apaiser de la bonne tempête,

Et que je dorme un peu puisque vous reposez.

-Paul Verlaine

You know, sometimes you have to take a step to the left, and then another step to the left, and then three steps to the right.

Hodder Avenue: The 56 best/worst analogies written by high school students:

hodderavenue:

Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center.

He was as tall as a 6′3″ tree.

Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal…

But, they’re creative so it’s okay :]

thousandnoises:

One of my favourite sculptures “Daphne and Apolo” by Bernini

What I love the most about his sculptures is that they pretend movement as you see it form different angles.

Bernini. These things exist.

Beings exist in rocks. Carve off the exterior and their inner character appears.
