Norman Lindsay ⁣

The Moon’s My Constant Mistress⁣

1918⁣

⁣

“Published in the book Bedlamite Verses of the XVI and XVII Centuries for Tom O’Bedlam.⁣

⁣

“Tom o’ Bedlam” is the title of an anonymous poem in the “mad song” genre, written in the voice of a homeless “Bedlamite”. The poem was probably composed at the beginning of the 17th century. In How to Read and Why Harold Bloom called it “the greatest anonymous lyric in the [English] language.”⁣

The terms “Tom o’ Bedlam” and “Bedlam beggar” were used to describe beggars and vagrants who had or feigned mental illness (see also Abraham-men). Aubrey writes that such a beggar could be identified by “an armilla of tin printed, of about three inches breadth” attached to his left arm. They claimed, or were assumed, to be former inmates of the Bethlem Royal Hospital (Bedlam). It was commonly thought that inmates were released with authority to make their way by begging, though this is probably untrue. If it happened at all, the numbers were small, though there were probably large numbers of mentally ill travellers who turned to begging, but had never been near Bedlam. It was adopted as a technique of begging, or a character. For example, Edgar in King Lear disguises himself as mad “Tom o’ Bedlam”.”⁣

⁣Maxfield Parrish⁣ Wynken, Blynken, and Nod ⁣1902⁣⁣ Wynken, Blynken, and Nod⁣ BY EUGENE FIELD⁣ “Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night⁣ Sailed off in a wooden shoe

--⁣Sailed on a river of crystal light,⁣ Into a sea of dew.⁣Where are you going, and what do you wish⁣ The old moon asked of the three.⁣We have come to fish for the herring fish⁣That live in this beautiful sea;⁣Nets of silver and gold have we! Said Wynken,⁣ Blynken,⁣ And Nod.⁣⁣The old moon laughed and sang a song,⁣ As they rocked in the wooden shoe,⁣And the wind that sped them all night long⁣ Ruffled the waves of dew.⁣The little stars were the herring fish⁣ That lived in that beautiful sea

--⁣Now cast your nets wherever you wish

--⁣ Never afeard are we!⁣ So cried the stars to the fishermen three⁣ Wynken,⁣ Blynken,⁣ And Nod.⁣⁣All night long their nets they threw⁣ To the stars in the twinkling foam

---⁣Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,⁣ Bringing the fishermen home;⁣'T was all so pretty a sail it seemed⁣ As if it could not be,⁣And some folks thought 't was a dream they 'd dreamed⁣ Of sailing that beautiful sea

---⁣ But I shall name you the fishermen three⁣ Wynken,⁣ Blynken,⁣ And Nod.⁣⁣Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,⁣ And Nod is a little head,⁣And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies⁣ Is a wee one's trundle-bed.⁣So shut your eyes while mother sings⁣ Of wonderful sights that be,⁣And you shall see the beautiful things⁣ As you rock in the misty sea,⁣ Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three⁣ Wynken,⁣ Blynken,⁣ And Nod.”⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #paintings #painting #artlovers #famousartists #famousart #artlegends #masterpieceart #artmasterpieces #thearts #everythingart #arteverything #artislife #fineart #arthistorian #arthistorynerd #arthistory #historyofart #kunst #arte #artonig #konst #maxfieldparrish #wynkenblynkenandnod

⁣Francisco Goya⁣Saturn Devouring His Son⁣c.1819-1823⁣⁣“Between 1819 and 1823, Spanish artist Francisco Goya created his Black Paintings, a series of 14 particularly haunting pieces. Among the most famous of these frightening works of art is Saturn Devouring His Son, a gruesome painting of a father feasting on his child.⁣⁣According to Roman mythology, Saturn (Cronus in Greek folklore) was the leader of the Titans. Saturn overthrew his father, Caelus, in an effort to become ruler of the universe. Fearing his own offspring would do the same, he killed and consumed each child shortly after birth—an atrocity Goya opted to portray in this Black Painting. ”⁣⁣ #paintings #painting #artlovers #artists #famousart #artlegends #art #thearts #everythingart #arteverything #artislife #artislife #dailyart #fineart #artoftheday #artstagram #artofinstagram #arthistorian #arthistorynerd #arthistory #historyofart #artlove #artpreciatetheday #goya #franciscogoya #saturndevouringhisson #19thcenturyart

When I was making those drawing/last year from February till August I came across an art critic in Spain. I always read what she was talking about Art and I love what she has to say. I speak Spanish as well I lived in Madrid for one year and I translated two books from Spanish to Russian in 1987 👨‍🎤 she’s a very smart woman but she also had one page with these facial expressions. 👨‍🎨 She is very animated. But I forgot her name completely 🤣 ( it happens to me all the time ). I was inspired to make a few drawings of her face as realistic as I possibly could, in my own line, in my own style of course. And these are some results. “To be an artist is a destiny. It is a calling from God. And there is nothing you can do about it “ - Andrey Bogoslowsky 7-2021.
