Pratiques et Techniques d’Observation d’Examen
“Le seul vrai langage au monde est un baiser”
– Alfred de Musset
The curse of the learned mind is reason;
how else can we know, can we truly gain
unless we interview and ascertain
complexities of psyche’s sweet delusion?
Too much. Too tilting to the grander scales!
Attraction of these elements is light
and only light, original and slight—
what is the weight of souls? Of no avail!
Instead, let interviews slip where they may:
A touch, a stolen moment, entertained;
“Le cœur a ses raisons” and this, enough!
Let bodies lead and lips brush brighter stuff
where stars press ancient paths and moons maintain.
We are, and speak a language of our own,
together, at a distance, or alone.

Nicely done. Nothing quite as pleasing as a lovely sonnet.
There are a few things more captivating 😉
But just a few.
Thank you, sir.
I still love the way you capture forms and expressions most of the world has let go by the wayside.
Thank you, Bernie!
You and I, collectors and purveyors of the world’s lost wonders, doing our best to polish them up and convince a new generation to love them as we do.
I give this a solid ten FUCK YEAH’s!!!!
That is indeed high praise! Made my day! Thank you
