Relats conjunts: Still life with onions and herring
«Natura morta amb cebes i arengada» (Isidre Nonell – 1910) |
Hm ... onions ... fish ... onion fish: In German a Zwiebelfisch is a character that by mistake is printed in a font different from the rest.
So what did Isidre wish to tell us with this very painting that is (very probably) nothing but a d'arengada vermella (red herring)?
It's obvious: But I won't tell you.
Surely you will find out for yourselves, won't you? ;-)

Swallows are back!
Today ‘my’ beloved swallows arrived and have moved into their nest above my study. How wonderful! |
And since four swallow families have their summer quarters around our house , ... |
and raise their offspring here ... |
... at the end of August there will be plenty of flying activity over Seanhenge Hopefully |

Beers & Books (375) – Birth & Death(lessness)
It's once again the (International) Day of the Book. Well, and once again I do not care, but just repeat: For me 365 days in any year are days of books, and 366 in leap-years. Anyway, on Shakespeare's 460th birthday the 408th anniversary of either his dead and the death of Cervantes just to wish a very special literary evening. May my voice not put you off the realm poetry. ;-) |
