The Romance Of Hats
2007-07-14 10:06:00
The picture depicts the Black Courtesan in one of her signature hats. There is nothing more arousing than a Courtesan in the nude wearing her special hat:-)Trusted friends know that the Ebony Courtesan has a fondness for hats. Her favourite style is the vintage 1960's black velveteen.With her sensuous dark curls, refined face and athletic body, she was recently captured in sunlight wearing a wonderfully colourful hat. It is said that art is a continual process of inventing forms. This makes the Courtesan an ideal muse for Modern Caribbean Painters. 'Tis the season for garden parties, flower shows, erotic games and more... Let the romance begin!"Humans have covered their heads since evolution. Initially head-wear offered protection from the elements, from injury or from falling rocks, weapons or masonry. You can trace the origins of the wearing of hats as far back as primitive man.Historical evidence has shown that some form of head covering was used for protection against the elem...

Poetic Symbols
2007-07-13 10:29:00
The Black Courtesan believes that the poet will either be nature or seek the lost nature. The Ebony Courtesan nourishes her poetic spirit with long walks in the woods, poetry and painting.She is leaving this poem with you in honor of naive and sentimental poetry. A poet often makes enlightened use Of symbols, to produce A speaking, laughing picture that presents Some hidden truth, with style and consequence. For this, he takes the world: his book's the living Stuff of nature, and the inanimate too, weaving Its effect, be it a magnet, a swaying palm, Or what the scientist learns in the trine room Of his own kingdom.All is grist to his art, Arousing interest, stimulating thought. He sets his sound-bite: pithy, pointed, neat, Cogent, impressive, needing no exegete, Yet with abundant verses clarified Backing the aperçu. Here is amplified, Lovingly spread, the meaning of the symbol, Its property and point. The pair resemble Each other; they are joined like soul and flesh. The symbol co...

Die Deutsche Sprache

As many of you know the Black Courtesan is fluent in German. A language she adores. She is sharing one of her favourite poems with you today. "The German Language" by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock. Below in English and German:-)Ferner Gestade, die Woge schnell,Dem Blicke gehellt bis zum Kiesel ist, -Das Gebüsch blinket er durch oder wallt In die Luft, hohes Gewölk duftend, - der Strom;Wirbelchen drehn mit ihm fort. So strömt Die Sprache, die, Hermann, dein Ursohn spricht. (O, auch du glichest dem Strom, Mann des Volks, Da dir Roms steigender Damm lockert' und brach.)Tieferen Quellen entströmet sie Erst wenige Zeit, da der eine Quell Noch in Sand floss, sich verlor. Säumend jetzt Und mit der Eil hallte der jetzt aus dem Geklüft;Aber er rann in den Kies. Nun kam Der Glücklichen einer und leitet' ihnIn den Strom. Schatten umher pflanzt man schon, An der Kluft, weilen da schon Wanderer gern,Stehen und sinnen: Versiegt vielleicht Ein ähnlicher Quell in dem Sand auch uns? Und geb...

Clouds Gathering
2007-07-05 19:18:00
The Black Courtesan is currently reading Jackstraws Poem by Charles Simic. She thoroughly enjoyed "De Occulta Philosophia" :-)Thank you for such a thoughtful gift. It is said that Simic paints exquisite and shattering word pictures. Below is one of the Ebony Courtesan's favourite poems by Charles Simic.Clouds gatheringIt seemed the kind of life we wanted.Wild strawberries and cream in the morning.Sunlight in every room.The two of us walking by the sea naked.Some evenings, however, we found ourselvesUnsure of what comes next.Like tragic actors in a theater on fire,With birds circling over our heads,The dark pines strangely still,Each rock we stepped on bloodied by the sunset.We were back on our terrace sipping wine.Why always this hint of an unhappy ending?Clouds of almost human appearanceGathering on the horizon, but the rest lovelyWith the air so mild and the sea untroubled.The night suddenly upon us, a starless night.You lighting a candle, carrying it nakedInto our bedroom and bl...

Midnight Moon
2007-07-04 12:58:00
"There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery". How often does the bright moon come?With Wine, I ask of the blue sky.In the heavily palaces,I wish to return there, riding the wind,but fear that in the high places of jade halls and eaves,I cannot fend off the cold. Rising to dance with my clear shadow, scarcely possible that I among men,turn around the red lacquered pavilions,dip below the silken-curtained windows, shine on the sleeplessThere ought not be regrets,but why so often are you full at times of parting?Men have sorrow and joy and farewell and union.The moon has clouds and clear skies,waxing and waningPerfection is rare since days of old,so wish only that the years be long,to share beauty even across a thousand miles.by Su Shih (1037–1101)International Courtesan : Kathleen Glydefeeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/kddv

The painting pictured is called "The Courtesan" ( after Eisen )Painted in 1887 by Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)I always remember the sunsetover the pavalion by the river.So tipsy, we could not find our way home.Our interest exhausted, the evening late,we tried to turn the boat homeward.By mistake, we entered deep within the lotus bed.Row! Row the boat!A flock of herons, frightened,suddenly flew skyward.Li QingzhaoLi Qingzhao 'During the several thousand years of feudal society in China , women were invariably placed at the bottom of society, their talent and intelligence given no chance to develop. Throughout the ages, however, nearly a hundred remarkable women writers succeeded in breaking through the bounds of the feudal ethical code and winning their rightful place in the history of literature. Their artistic achievements were by no means inferior to those of their contemporary male counterparts. Among these illustrious women, Li Qingzhao, a poetess of the Song Dynasty, was the m...
