Fotozondagavond #12: Youth Sentiment
June 10th, 2007
Youth sentiment. Wow! Things that wax me nostalgic. Too many to list. Most of my sentiments/nostalgia stem from infancy. Of course, the “When I was young, everything was better” is a big lie. People were lying and dying, as much as nowadays, if not more. Certainly, ignorance is bliss and even though knowledge is supposed to set us free, we’d like nothing better than to voluntarily shake the weight of truth and insight from our shoulders and once again put on the warm fuzzy shackles of childhood.
To quote Ambrose Bierce (with whom I share my birthday, though we were born 125 years apart):
- INFANCY, n.
- The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth, “Heaven lies about us.” The world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.
Anyway, today I had time and inspiration to hook up on three themes: music, places and, er, for want of a better word, “art”.
Music!
Places!
Art!
