"A Street Corner in Paris"
Paris, France; one of the most desired, romanticized, tourist trapping cities in the world. It’s got the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa, pretty gold-leaf embellished buildings, oh and cigarettes don’t cause cancer here. The mystique, fascinating, tantalizing intrigue Paris holds is not simply revealed. On doit chercher pour le charme, l’aventure, l’histoire; c’est quelque chose on doit decouvrir et meriter soi-meme.
Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything it is because we are dangerously near to wanting nothing. There are two opposing poles of wanting nothing: When one is so full and rich and has so many inner worlds that the outer world is not necessary for joy, because joy emanates from the inner core of one’s being. When one is dead and rotten inside and there is nothing in the world: not all the woman, food, sun or mind-magic of others can reach the wormy core of one’s gutted soul planet.
Sylvia Plath, The Journals of Sylvia Plath (via bookmania)
A woman who pins down poignantly the desperate truth of a mediocrity dodging passion filled existence.
Where gyrating belly dancing women meet women wrapped in scarves, covering every inch of their bodies, where east meets west, sacred religion meets modern secularism… Escaping the perilously frozen cobblestone streets of bordeaux for ISTANBUL!
Georges Barbier - 1912.
