A photograph by Miquel Àngel Vich alias Barbolaire |
– Smoke hidden ghoulish faces, eyes, grimaces, torso of a female figure. Positive became negative. Smoke without sound.
– Words are mere sound and smoke, dimming the heavenly light.
– Says who?
– Goethe, Faust I.
– Lousy translation. Faust says, verse 3457: Name ist Schall und Rauch. Name is sound and smoke. Not words. May I ask who created this photographic artwork?
– Didn't you just say names are sound and smoke?
– Thanks a lot. But that was Goethe.
– Nitpicker. Let's turn the whole thing on its head for fun. What do you see now?
– See? There are more things in heaven and earth, Sean, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
– Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 5.
– Yes, yes. Smart arse. But now: What is the name of the poetic photo artist?
– The name is at the top under the photo. ;-)
