In celebration of Loving Day, we're sharing "New Hope" by Corita Kent. This serigraph from 1966 is dedicated to Mildred and Richard Loving. At that time the Lovings were plaintiffs in the midst of the Supreme Court case that ultimately struck down states’ bans on interracial marriage the following year on June 12. 1/2

Today's poem:
La Guerre (II)
E. E. Cummings
O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting fingers of
prurient philosophers pinched
and
poked
thee
,has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy beauty how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and
buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
(but
true
to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover thou answerest
them only with spring)

Musical Interlude: The late Michael Hedges had a pleasant and offbeat style that I enjoy, and all too often got classed as "New Age music" although he was more unclassifiable. He was mostly an instrumental artist, but did some vocals, like this track, an e e cummings poem he set to music.
"i carry your heart" performed by Michael Hedges.

The Artist is no other than he who unlearns what he has learned, in order to know himself.

may i feel said he
(i'll squeal said she
just once said he)
it's fun said she
(may i touch said he
how much said she
a lot said he)
why not said she
(let's go said he
not too far said she
what's too far said he
where you are said she)
may i stay said he
which way said she
like this said he
if you kiss said she
may i move said he
is it love said she)
if you're willing said he
(but you're killing said she

To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight.

e.e. cummings | VIII
[en «Buffalo Bill ha muerto» (Antología poética 1910-1962) 1996]
“supongamos
que la Vida es un viejo que lleva flores en la cabeza.
la joven muerte está sentada en un café
sonriendo, con una mochila entre
el pulgar y el índice.” [...] Seguir leyendo en: https://tinyurl.com/27rdnsek
