Hey...girl
Take out the dagger
And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution
Hey girl
Let freedom for all be our rallying call
Tomorrow lets make...our new resolution
Yeah, but tonight lie still
While I plunder your sweet grave
And remember
Only the poor can be saved
Hey girl
As I've always said I prefer your lips red
Not what the good Lord made
But what he intended
Hey girl
Don't point the finger at me
I am only a rat in a maze like you
And only the dead go free
So...please hold my hand
As we blunder through the maze
And remember
Nothing can grow without rain
Don't point
Don't point your finger at me
I awoke in a fever
The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat
She said "You've been having a nightmare
And it's not over yet"
Then she picked up the doggy in the window
(The one with the waggly tail)
And she put him to bed between two bits of bread

'Dragobete, the traditional lovers’ day in Romania, is celebrated on
February 24, ten days after the Western European and American
counterpart Valentine’s Day. The Dragobete traditional story goes that,
clothed with holiday suits, young men and women meet in front of the
church and go searching the woods and meadows for spring flowers. They
sit around fire on the hills of the village and talk. At noon, the girls
run to the village, each followed by one boy who had fallen for them.
If the boy is fast and reaches the girl of his choice and if she likes
him, she kisses him in front of everyone. This tradition triggered the
expression “Dragobete kisses the girls!” (Dragobetele saruta fetele).
The kiss show the two lovers’ engagement, Dragobete being an
opportunity to show the love in front of the community.
There are a number of Dragobete customs in rural areas, many of which
are not kept by modern Romanians anymore. On this day, no animals are
sacrificed because it would ruin the point of mating. In the old days,
single women used to gather the last remnants of snow, called “the
fairies’ snow”, and the water resulted from the melted snow was used
throughout the year for various beauty treatments and love spells.
The tradition goes that men should not hurt women, nor argue with
them, otherwise they will not do well the whole year. Youngsters believe
that on this day they should be joyous and respect the holiday, so that
they can be in love the whole year.'
Constantin Brancusi was born February 19, 1876, in
Hobitza, Romania and was a Romanian sculptor, painter and photographer who made his career in France. Considered a pioneer of modernism,
one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th-century, Brâncuși is
called the patriarch of modern sculpture. As a child he displayed an
aptitude for carving wooden farm tools. Formal studies took him first to Bucharest, then to Munich, then to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1905 to 1907. His art emphasizes clean geometrical lines that balance forms inherent in his materials with the symbolic allusions of representational art. Brâncuși sought inspiration in non-European cultures as a source of primitive exoticism, as did Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, André Derain and others. But other influences emerge from Romanian folk art traceable through Byzantine and Dionysian traditions.He studied art at the Scoala de Meserii (school of
arts and crafts) in Craiova from 1894 to 1898 and at the Scoala
Natzionala de Arte Frumoase (national school of fine arts) in Bucharest
from 1898 to 1901. Eager to continue his education in Paris, Brancusi
arrived there in 1904 and enrolled in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1905.
The following year, his sculpture was shown at the Salon d’Automne,
where he met Auguste Rodin.
Soon after 1907, Brancusi’s mature
period began. The sculptor had settled in Paris but throughout these
years returned frequently to Bucharest and exhibited there almost every
year. In Paris, his friends included Marcel Duchamp, Fernand Léger,
Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, and Henri Rousseau. In 1913, five of
Brancusi’s sculptures were included in the Armory Show in New York.
Alfred Stieglitz presented the first solo show of Brancusi’s work at his
gallery “291,” New York, in 1914. Brancusi was never a member of any
organized artistic movement, although he associated with Francis
Picabia, Tristan Tzara, and many other Dadaists in the early 1920s. In
1921, he was honored with a special issue of The Little Review.
He traveled to the United States twice in 1926 to attend his solo shows
at Wildenstein and at the Brummer Gallery in New York. The following
year, a historic trial was initiated in the United States to determine
whether Brancusi’s Bird in Space was liable for duty as a
manufactured object or as a work of art. The court decided in 1928 that
the sculpture was a work of art.
Brancusi traveled extensively in
the 1930s, visiting India and Egypt as well as European countries. He
was commissioned to create a war memorial for a park in Turgu Jiu,
Romania, in 1935, and designed a complex that included gates, tables,
stools, and an Endless Column. After 1939, Brancusi continued to work in Paris. His last sculpture, a plaster Grand Coq, was completed in 1949. In 1952, Brancusi became a French citizen. He died March 16, 1957, in Paris.(guggenheim )

Secretariat A Moment of Eternity
Secretariat tribute - The Chronicle of the Horse
Most of us know the legend of Secretariat, the tall,
handsome chestnut racehorse whose string of honors runs long and rich:
the only two-year-old ever to win Horse of the Year, in 1972; winner in
1973 of the Triple Crown, his times in all three races still
unsurpassed; featured on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated;
the only horse listed on ESPN’s top fifty athletes of the twentieth
century (ahead of Mickey Mantle). His final race at Toronto’s Woodbine
Racetrack is a touchstone memory for horse lovers everywhere. Yet while
Secretariat will be remembered forever, one man, Eddie “Shorty” Sweat,
who was pivotal to the great horse’s success, has been all but
forgotten---until now.
In The Horse God Built,
bestselling equestrian writer Lawrence Scanlan has written a tribute to
an exceptional man that is also a backroads journey to a corner of the
racing world rarely visited. As a young black man growing up in South
Carolina, Eddie Sweat struggled at several occupations before settling
on the job he was born for---groom to North America’s finest racehorses.
As Secretariat’s groom, loyal friend, and protector, Eddie understood
the horse far better than anyone else. A wildly generous man who could
read a horse with his eyes, he shared in little of the financial success
or glamour of Secretariat’s wins on the track, but won the heart of Big
Red with his soft words and relentless devotion.
In
Scanlan’s rich narrative, we get a groom’s-eye view of the racing world
and the vantage of a man who spent every possible moment with the horse
he loved, yet who often basked in the horse’s glory from the sidelines.
More than anything else, The Horse God Built is a moving portrait of the powerful bond between human and horse.
Secretariat (March 30, 1970 – October 4, 1989) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that in 1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown winner in 25 years. He set race records in all three events in the series – the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), the Preakness Stakes (1:53), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) – records that still stand today
'Floating down through the clouds Memories come rushing up to meet me now. But in the space between the heavens and the corner of some foreign field I had a dream. I had a dream. Good-bye macs, Good-bye Ma. After the service when you're walking slowly to the car And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air You hear the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream. A place to stay "Oi! A real one ..." Enough to eat Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud About your doubts and fears And what's more no-one ever disappears You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door. You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no-one kills the children anymore. And no one kills the children anymore.
Night after night Going round and round my brain His dream is driving me insane. In the corner of some foreign field The gunner sleeps tonight. What's done is done. We cannot just write off his final scene. Take heed of the dream. Take heed.'
The Final Cut (occasionally subtitled The Final Cut: A Requiem For The
Post-War Dream by Roger Waters) is the twelfth studio album by English
progressive rock group Pink Floyd. It was released on 21 March 1983 by
Harvest Records in the United Kingdom, and several weeks later by
Columbia Records in the United States. A concept album, The Final Cut is
the last of the band's studio releases to include founding member and
long-time lyricist Roger Waters. It is the only Pink Floyd album on
which Waters alone is credited for the writing and composition of every
song. Most of the lyrics are sung by Waters; lead guitarist David
Gilmour provides vocals on only one of the album's tracks.
Flock of birds
Hovering above
Just a flock of birds
That's how you think of love
And I always look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
Cause they fly always
Sometimes they arrive
Sometimes they are gone
Fly on
Flock of birds
Hovering above
Into smoke I'm turned and rise, following them up
Still I always look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
Cause they fly away
One minute they arrive
Next you know they're gone
Fly on
Fly on, ride through
Maybe one day I'll fly next to you
Fly on, ride through
Maybe one day I can fly with you
Fly on
