Cherry Ripe, Ripe, Ripe, I Cry!
2007-09-07 09:54:00 The Ebony Courtesan ate far too many cherries during her stay in Barbados recently. The poem below evokes images of Caribbean vendors selling ripe, sweet cherries beneath an August sky. The Black Courtesan wishes you all a week filled with laughter, love and happiness!CHERRY-RIPE, ripe, ripe, I cry, Full and fair ones; come and buy. If so be you ask me where They do grow, I answer: There Where my Julia's lips do smile; There 's the land, or cherry-isle, Whose plantations fully show All the year where cherries grow.

Beneath the Starry Sky

The Black Courtesan highly recommends an evening beneath the stars intead of the more traditional bed:-)Heaven full of starsAlone in the night On a dark hill With pines around me Spicy and still, And a heaven full of stars Over my head, White and topaz And misty red; Myriads with beating Hearts of fire That aeons Cannot vex or tire; Up the dome of heaven Like a great hill, I watch them marching Stately and still, And I know that I Am honored to be Witness Of so much majesty.

I Love the Dark Hours of My Being
2007-06-27 15:31:00 I love the dark hours of my being.My mind deepens into them.There I can find, as in old letters,the days of my life, already lived,and held like a legend, and understood.Then the knowing comes:I can open to another life that's wide and timeless.So I am sometimes like a tree rustling over a gravesiteand making real the dreamof the one its living roots embrace:a dream once lost among sorrows and songs.Rainer Maria Rilkefeeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/kddv More About: Love , Dark , The Dark , Bein , Being

For further information please visit the Black Courtesan's website HereThe Brea sts of Mnasidice - The Black Courtesan is especially fond of this poem.It conveys the bitter sweet emotions of life on canvas. The moods range from playful to melancholy. Somehow it reminds the Ebony Courtesan of her own ripe brown breasts...Carefully she opened her tunic with onehand and offered me her warm soft breasts asone offers a pair of living pigeons to the goddess.'Love them well,' she said to me,'I love them so much!They are dears, they are like little children.I amuse myself with them when I am alone.I play with them and give them pleasure.I sprinkle them with milk.I powder them with flowers.Their little tips love the fine hair with which I wipe them.I caress them with a shiver.I lay them to sleep in wool.Since...
Art & The Sacred Whore
2007-06-15 13:31:00 The painting pictured is called "Nevermore" by Paul Gauguin, which was painted in 1897. ´The Ebony Courtesan is celebrating exoticism in art today.Happy Birthday Paul Gauguin! The Black Courtesan's most beloved artist."Through arrangements of lines and colors, I get symphonies and harmonies representing nothing truly real in the vulgar sense of the word,expressing directly no idea, but like music makes you think, without the help of ideas or images, simply through those mysterious affinities that are behind our brains and such arrangements of colors or lines" - Paul Gauguin ( 1848 - 1903 )In Honor of the Sacred Whore I am the first and I am the lastI am the honored one and the scorned oneI am the whore and the holy oneI am the wife and the virginI am the barren one and many are my daughtersI am the silence that is incomprehensibleI am the utterance of my name.Gnostic prayer, found in the Nag Hammadi manuscripts"Sacred sex beliefs and practices attempt to defy and transform this vir...

Reading in the Pergola
2007-06-12 23:33:00 Picture by:Alice Beach Winter (American, b.1877), "Reading in the Pergola", c.1915. "Where the mind is without fear"- this poem is both thought-provoking and inspiring,the Black Courtesan is honoring Rabindranath Tagore today.Where the mind is without fearWhere the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is freeWhere the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic wallsWhere words come out from the depth of truthWhere tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfectionWhere the clear stream of reason has not lost its wayInto the dreary desert sand of dead habitWhere the mind is led forward by theeInto ever-widening thought and actionInto that heaven of freedom, my Father,let my country awake.In reply to Tagore's fearless and proud polemic, the Ebony Courtesan believes that we are never really free of fear."Fear always remains. A man may destroy everything within himself, love and hate and belief, and even doubt;but as long as he clings ...

Thomas Hardy
2007-06-02 11:37:00 Today is a wonderful day indeed!It is also the birthday of Thom as Hardy .Hardy was an English writer and poet of the naturalist movement. The Ebony Courtesan is sharing one of his poems with her readers today. "Between Us Now"...Between Us NowBetween us now and here - Two thrown togetherWho are not wont to wearLife's flushest feather-Who see the scenes slide past, The daytimes dimming fast,Let there be truth at last, Even if despair. So thoroughly and long Have you now known me,So real in faith and strong Have I now shown me,That nothing needs disguiseFurther in any wise,Or asks or justifies A guarded tongue. Face unto face, then, say, Eyes mine own meeting, Is your heart far away, Or with mine beating?When false things are brought low,And swift things have grown slow, Feigning like froth shall go, Faith be for aye.

Buying sex illegal in Norway
2007-05-27 19:41:00 Oslo - Norway 's ruling Labour Party on Sunday voted to ban the purchase of sex in a bid to stop prostitution by targeting those who buy it rather than those who sell it, officials said. The decision by the Labour Party's congress puts Norway on course to join its Scandinavian neighbour Sweden in adopting such a policy. Sweden introduced a similar ban in 1999.Prostitution is allowed in Norway, although procuring it, commonly known as "pimping", is illegal. Street prostitution in the capital, Oslo, has become increasingly visible and aggressive in the past few years, provoking calls for a ban.Labour also has support from its coalition partners, the Socialist Left and Centre parties. They hold a combined 87 of parliament's 169 seats and will also be backed by the opposition Christian People's Party, which first proposed the ban. Via WN News"A majority of parties in parliament wants a ban on buying sexual services," Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, told a news conference. "We are go... More About: Buying , Illegal

Caribbean Creole
2007-05-22 12:12:00 The Black Courtesan prefers tea instead of coffee, but she will not refuse the rare and exquisite Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.Trusted friends know that the Ebony Courtesan has an insatiable appetite for art and books. Though there are days when she would rather paint than curl up with a compelling novel. Yesterday morning, the Black Courtesan spent two happy hours reading Miguel Street byTrinidad-born Vidiadhar Naipaul, the 2001 Nobel literature laureate, who says he didn't learn anything at Oxford.Since the Courtesan is of Caribbean heritage, and has spent time in Trinidad. She recommends that you read this book aloud in your best Caribbean accent.Chapter ten is hilariously shocking too. Am still reading this honest, comical book, which depicts Caribbean life in its unrefined and colourful state. Miguel Street is the recreation of the atmosphere, -- flavours and textures -- of a community of which the narrator is an integral part.The Maternal Instinct Chapter Ten"I suppose Laura...
