And then there are the misfits that make the reject pile — darned camera auto-focus — but none the lesser a beauty.

“So, so you wish you can tell
Heaven from hell,
Blue skies from pain,
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail,
A smile from a veil,
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts,
Hot ashes for trees,
Hot air for a cool breeze,
Cold comfort for change,
Did you exchange a walk on par in the war,
for a lead role in a cage?”

— Pink Floyd, “Wish You Were Here”

The Great Gig in the Sky

comfortably numb?

Speckles and spangles… Now, now, some things just don’t cloy…

“A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.”

— John Keats, Endymion (1818)
