When riding on the underground in London this past weekend I noticed various posters with poems, works of art, etc... This made me happy because the government in London sponsors this, they fund a program which gives people something to read or look at while they worm about beneath the surface. It made my subway experience a tad bit more enlightening anyway.
... It's the little things in life (:
I saw and liked this one by W.B. Yeats a lot.
Her Anxiety
Earth in beauty dressed
Awaits returning spring.
All true love must die,
[Alter at the best]
Into some lesser thing.
Prove that I lie.
Such body lovers have
Such exacting breath
That they touch or sigh.
Every touch they give.
Love is nearer death.
Prove that I lie.
Then, on my way home I flipped through on of those magazines they stick in front of you on airplanes and found an article on post-graffiti in Madrid, Spain. So, essentially, random transportation in Europe has shown me a whole slew of things I didn't expect to find. Like SpY, basically the Spanish equivalent of Banksy. Anonymous. Active since the 80's. Political, humorous, and plays with the urban landscape. I like him. And 3ttman, a French artist who also works in Madrid [first picture is his]. Cute shit, I like him too.
C'est tout pour ce soir. Je suis le tired.
