"Everything you can imagine is real."

Mina Loy (what a great name) painted the picture to the left entitled "Woman Weaving". The painting can be found in an interesting book entitled The Writer’s Brush: Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture by Writers by David Friedman. Big Frank, however, would retitle the painting "Woman Instigating".



Here's an excerpt from her poem entitled "Effectual Marriage":

"So here we might dispense with her . . . being a female
But she was more than that
Being an incipience a correlative
an instigation to the reaction of man
From the Palpable to the transcendent
Mollescent irritant of his fantasy . . .
She flowered in Empyrean
From which no well-mated woman ever returns."

Big Frank is back in Spokane. Up above - nothing but blue skies. The photo below is the best that Big Frank can do today. Not a cloud in the sky! Here's an apt quotation to go with this photo: "Everything you can imagine is real." -- Pablo Picasso.
