Transcendent Eves

Midway in September I decided to close the book on old crushes.




Ang hirap pala.

Just watched a Hopkin's movie of Pablo Picasso. Ah. The sublime and crazy world of artists. Makes me think how close they are to the Heavens than most people care to believe. Often they are treated as outsiders of society. I prefer to see them as the Joker in Jostein's Gaardner's novels.

And I still can't take this grin off my face...It's like a dance ain't it?



And then I pause to read again Nick Joaquin's "May Day Eve" for my Film and Lit class. We're required to do a screenplay adaptation in Filipino (Oh dear I'm stupid in Filipino). I repeatedly whisper the poignant lines "terrible silver nets of the moon."



And then I stop grinning. Sigh. How beautiful. But still...

Oh well. I raise my glass to them all.











For mooncake.
