Dreams Old and Nascent

The surface of dreams is broken,

The picture of the past is shaken and scattered. 

Gentleman's Magazine 1886

The white rocks, the extensive sands, the fine curvature of the bay, the snowy foam and ever interesting ocean, arouse excitability, cheering and tranquilizing..

On a mild summer's evening, while I have been towed along the smooth waters of the bay, and while I looked on the rocks and the coast, and the sea all tinged with the rich setting sun..

 I forgot for a time to envy the lot of the traveler who gazes on the superior glories of the Frith of Edinburgh, the Bay of Naples or the Port of Constantinople.

Goodbye to Berlin

Barbara K

“But seriously, I believe I'm a sort of Ideal Woman, if you know what I mean. I'm the sort of woman who can take men away from their wives, but I could never keep anybody for long. And that's because I'm the type which every man imagines he wants, until he gets me; and then he finds he doesn't really, after all.” 

Smoke in the City

 

The Gare St-Lazarre (1877)

 

 

Nothing is permanent, nothing is fixed. There is a freedom to disappear into the city like a vapour. Amidst the anonymity of great urban spaces; all that is solid melts into steam.
