Zora Neale Hurston: “The Life of Men”

Photographer Unknown, (Holding Onto His Desire)

“Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.”

― Zora Neale Hurston

David Kirk: “Child of Vengeance”

 

Photographer Unknown, (Child of Vengeance)

“Intorno a lui, le tranquille risaie riflettevano le stelle come lastre di ossidiana, e lui smaniava dalla voglia di sfoderare la spada e squarciarle; tagliare le stelle e tagliare il cielo e l’universo, solo perché sapeva che era in grado di farlo.”

“Around him, the quiet rice fields reflected the stars as slabs of obsidian, and he was anxious from the desire to draw the sword and squarciarle; cut the stars and cut the sky and the universe, just because he knew he could do it. ”

-David Kirk, Child of Vengeance
