Cueillir ou Accueillir ?

« Thou canst not stir a flower, without troubling of a star. »

- Francis Thompson -

​

Stir or astir?

One slightly quivers, the second excitedly arises.

A privative and improbable ‘‘a’’, by the happenstance of the language, awakening other senses.

 

A tightrope artist on an elegant thread, the sundrenched flower crowns the stem, swaying in an undeniably fragile equilibrium.

Insolent exquisiteness, never ostentatious,

true loveliness needs not to be trumpeted.

It resonates with our original sensuality, not as a secret to grasp

but as a confidence to share.

 

Charles and Dora merge flowers and stars, sky and earth,

in a pure symphony where their singular and complex prints only enhance the clarity of their vision. Thus, sublimity is offered anew to the source of their inspiration, mystery intact.

 

Onto the cobalt blue of distant seas, superimposes the horizon of our mythologies with the delicate softness of a petal, sensing the infinite perfume of emotions, when finally we allow them to stir us deeply within.
