I took a calligraphy class today, I tried to learn and write the Katakana symbol for Love, I practiced for almost an hour, then I said fuck it! I created my own symbol, which I thought was much more beautiful.... It took all of five seconds to create.
I won second place in the calligraphy contest with my version of calligraphy...
The other person who voted for me must of understood exactly what I meant.
Jackson Pollack would of been proud.
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
