A árvore e o homem

A árvore caída e o homem, que reflete sobre a queda da árvore.

Numa típica tarde chuvosa em Belfast, depois de uma longa caminhada, o homem depara-se com uma imensa árvore tombada ao chão. Morrera de velha? De tristeza? Seu comprido tronco cinza parecia o longo pescoço de um animal jurássico; sua pose, a de uma dama estirada no chão a espera de uma mão gentil. O apodrecimento, o fim e a inevitável semelhança das coisas mais dissemelhantes.

Puddles, a wee boy, and the Titanic Museum

A wee boy plays in the puddles in front of the Titanic Museum. No matter how opulent that building is, the wee boy seems much more entertained by the outcomes of the rain that's pissed down for a week... What's with children and puddles anyway? Down with buying expensive toys, just give 'em a pair of wellingtons, and they're sorted.

Don't fool yourself. As picturesque and peaceful as it looks, those guys are perched on top of a 180m high cliff. The tip of land on the horizon is Scotland, most probably Southend.

What an exquisite location for a private library.
