I promise you — there will be serious posts soon. This one (from yesterday’s adventures) is devoid of both gnomes and fairies, so pretty disappointing and lacking seriousness. But perhaps one can glimpse a sea nymph if one looks attentively on the picture? (If you need a larger version for this purpose, one is available here.)

'Perhaps humankind can't bear too much reality, but neither can it bear too much unreality, too much abuse of the truth.' (Saul Bellow)
'448 OMAR KHAYYÁM Omar had a personality; I, for better or worse, have none. In an hour I’ll have strayed from what I am at this moment; tomorrow I’ll have forgotten what I am today. Those who are who they are, like Omar, live in just one world, the external one. Those who aren’t who they are, like me, live not only in the external world but also in a diversified, ever-changing inner world. Try as we might, we could never have the same philosophy as Omar’s. I harbour in me, like unwanted souls, the very philosophies I criticize. Omar could reject them all, for they were all external to him, but I can’t reject them, because they’re me.' (F Pessoa)
'Mrs Glass looked over, abstractedly, at the blue bathmat, across the tiled floor. Zooey stood as still as possible, in order not to break her mood. "You can't live in the world with such strong likes and dislikes," Mrs Glass said to the bathmat, then turned again toward Zooey and gave him a long look, with very little, if any, morality in it. "Regardless of what you may think, young man," she said.' (JD Salinger)
'Art only begins where imitation ends.' (Oscar Wilde)
'"I like zooey's blog," Steiner would say, "It's the only internet site with a foyer. Saul and I often meet there, by the ethereal kiosk. The ice-cream is splendid."' (ThetisMercurio)
'What is the use of telling people repeatedly that the Society is not a sect and then behave as if it were one?' (Steiner)
'Laughter means distance. Where laughter is absent, madness begins. The moment one takes the world with complete seriousness one is potentially insane.' (Jens Bjørneboe)
'If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.' (Oscar Wilde)
'Let's act like sphinxes, however falsely, until we reach the point of no longer knowing who we are. For we are, in fact, false sphinxes, with no idea of what we are in reality. The only way to be in agreement with life is to disagree with ourselves. Absurdity is divine.' (F Pessoa)

The colours are stunning, especially in the larger version.
That sea nymph!… surely it’s not Thetis Mercurio rising from the sea again as she did so memorably last year?
Thank you!
I was hoping it was her — and we’d have a real life ethereal kiosk experience again, with wine, bread and cheese, on the veranda which is just to the left of that pine tree! You should all be there, really; including Rudi of course. It would be crammed but incredibly nice.
… and THEN, naturally, Rudi would fall into the Baltic sea and someone would have to fish him up. I’d better have some frankfurter sausages and plenty of cognac ready.
Nice picture. Flowers are a real standout.
Thank you!
Falk – what a good idea! I’m keen to miss the Olympics. If I start now I should make it to Sweden by daybreak. The only worry is dodging that mermaid outside Copenhagen.
Bring a water-tight bag with danish pastries and throw them to her. She’ll let you swim through. And then you’ll find your way perfectly and safely — I pointed out the place when on the Sandhamn boat trip! I tiny dot of a house, far away. But you remember, I’m sure! Otherwise, there’s the best gps of all — clairevoyance!
I remember it very well. Plus you can always find your way around when you have a Higher Porpoise.
Always, indeed…!
