“Light is the left hand of darkness
and darkness the right hand of light.
Two are one, life and death, lying
together like lovers in Kemmer,
like hands joined together,
like the end and the way.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin (October 21, 1929 – January 22, 2018),
The Left Hand of Darkness
Art by Édouard Manet.
Beautiful quote 👌👌
Thank you! 🙂
Welcome😊
So, she, I didn’t know who once said “the creative adult is the child who has survived” has passed away…
Yes, she passed away… So as to quote you, my inner child has always had ceremonies over her magic, clever and astounding words.
Thank you!
Very beautiful, words and painting.
Thank you!
Manet’s painting further illustrates how light and dark belong to each other. I enjoyed this, it’s so true, I feel.
Thank you! I feel the same.
January is a trying month for me, what with the struggle of light vs darkness.
Another lovely post.
Peace
Thank you very much!
Peace, light and laughter.
They used to have a superb Manet exhibit at the Chicago Art Institute. I was privileged to view it several times. I appreciate your choice of artwork.
Thank you very much!
Indeed, this is a privilege. I wish I had been there.
I still have a Manet coffee mug souvenir, if you’d like it.
🙂 You are very nice. 🙂 Thank you!
Ha! I try, sometimes. I do respect your poetry, though, which is probably more important. Thank you for writing.
Thank you for writing and beautiful gesture! 💜 And please don’t get me wrong. 🙂 I mean everything I say (write).
