Before you can hear it,
the voice of a bird dissolves
in the air full of silent laughter.
Every step disappears in time
or in the vast memory of an angel.
Chess pieces burn their boards,
transform the inevitable music
into the soliloquies of cloud hunters.

The skies teem with birds shaped as trees
and trees turned into birds.
The inhabitants of the sun
hide all their wings in the melting snow.
Dragonflies look for the monstrous whispers
in the dark rays of fugitive stars.

which provoked a chain of strange, vivid dreams and weird ideas. I don’t remember how it ended.

It’s kind of the same way as the Greeks relegated everything unusual, sacred, or surreal to the Egyptians or to the Thracians, the Chinese to the inhabitants of Chu, etc. 4/4

There was also one episode from C. G. Jung’s autobiography connected to that. He was recalling his friend who was traveling around Russia by train, contemplating the names of the stations and trying to guess what those Cyrillic letters really meant, 3/4

Who knows, maybe Slavic vocabulary is the core of any kind of Western phonetic poetry, although it’s not easy to substantiate this idea. 2/4

Live (Remastered), by MAGMA 8 track album

Whenever I listen to Magma, I keep hearing Slavic words in their Kobaïan stream of consciousness, which reminds me of Hugo Ball's “blago blago bang” and of the word Dada itself. 1/4

Well, the first attempt to blot it out has failed for some reason. It's been there for 3 or 4 months, by the way.

“Maria dà luce ai pargoli cristiani” by Adolfo Wildt, 1917 (“Mary gives birth to Christian children”, I guess).

I am not sure if they have some scores extant for all these instruments, and if someone could still replicate them and reproduce the music. Baroque lute music is beautiful, but aside from that, who knows. (@ Museo della Musica di Venezia)

El cielo embotellado les trae
la luz del vacío
y el ruido de las emisoras anónimas
a los seres dormidos en sótanos,
en trompetas, charcos
y almas de los santos.

If you want to buy the deck, please keep in mind that the pip cards are not illustrated. Some of the court cards are half-human, half-beast, very beautiful. The Major Arcana are even better, in my opinion. I haven't used it much yet, though.

This is probably the weirdest Wheel of Fortune card I have ever seen (from Michelangelo Rossato’s Tarocchi).

He is very helpful and can readily explain everything you want to know about his art.

An adequate lighting, electric or candle, could make them even more beautiful.

He uses the words “puzzle” and “jigsaw” while describing his works, and they can be used as puzzles, I guess, but their primary purpose is to bring joy to your eyes and soul, in my opinion.

It is hard to describe what he has for sale. He makes some trees, buildings, masks, commedia dell'arte figurines, zodiac signs, even bas-relief copies of classical paintings, all out of wood, and you can adjust them later, bas-relief style, according to your liking.

The address is: S. Stae 1921, 30135 Venezia, but it looks like it's better just to search it by his name on google maps. Anyway, it's very close to the S. Stae vaporetto stop.

The workshop of Vanni Morandin in Venice. I would certainly recommend you to visit it if you wanted to get some off-the-beaten-track souvenirs unlike the usual stuff from the gift shops.

Sad news... It was beautiful in 2018. What's going to happen to the garden now?
