... that a whole world of lament arose, in which
all nature reappeared: forest and valley,
road and village, field and stream and animal;
and that around this lament-world, even as

and a silent, star-filled heaven, a lament-
heaven, with its own, disfigured stars ...
Ein Klage-Himmel, "a lament-heaven," from Rilke's "Orpheus. Eurydike. Hermes." Poetry's post-rupture, post-lapsus, post-death-of-Eurydice dream of recreating that primal world -- Eden, childhood, Orpheus's singing -- where word and thing were one.

Very cool shots! I like dark photos and the sparkler makes a wonderful contrast.
ah, this would be the mirror-post to my Morning joy: Night joy! :-)

my heart is laughing
Love sparklers meself!! Lovely top pic, the child's face so large against the sky and such energy in those eyes!
