Love.
“Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet, Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”

Into the Abyss: A Tale of Death, A Tale of Life.
Yes, here is the other reason why my pennies have been flying away from me. After I saw this all I could formulate was “wow” yes, just wow.

On Wednesday night I finally got to see ‘1395 Days Without Red’ - something that I’d heard of while back in Edinburgh then by chance saw a flyer for it in a corridor at Goldsmiths and remembered that I’d wanted to see it/them.

How Language Affects Colour Perception. →
This is crazy but true.
Smugly I was able to spot the ‘odd one out’ in the ‘greens’ without having to check the RGB values (perhaps because I spend too much time in Photoshop, who knows).
