było ciemno, gdy noc w cieniach (pogrążona), it was dark as night in shadows

joseph cornell: box with bird's nest and oak galls
cornell study center
from joseph cornell navigating the imagination


dirty skylight window (or rainy day effect dim light)-
then very conscious of mechanics of light coming thru
or by a table very bright...

stained hands with black ink not minding

(page 15)


-also a sequence of being on a couch and looking out
as though over a river at night & up at the constellations
-but as though they were seen in a picture book

(page 19)


standing gazing into open space rural- exquisitely
quintessential atmosphere of indian summer light...

-this one fragment best recalled mystical- akin to
eakins' painting of the scull tower

(page 50)


same very pale blue a gauzy opaque smoke grey- mass
overheard something from last night's dream almost
forming an image- soft mystical light on things helped
by the dirty windows

(page 56)


last night- a dream sequence about observing the city
in some phen. light- color- old + new- an image too
much to grasp in words- children looking out with me
something flowered from a large window frame

(page 67)


dream remembered- the sublime ones
too elusive detail only- large slices of snow

(page 68)


incident of a batch of pencils being sharpened much
lost

(page 76)


brace of dreams into clear
catching a rabbit looking more like a fox
in hand goes to sleep
wakes up close-up
turns into my hand

(page 79)


field mouse
dream of mouse
live coals walking right into them unscathed

(page 93)


i go into the modest dwelling- "business" of a
labyrinthine wandering through the rooms...

beaut. music was going on non-vocal- one cd not
discern the source-

(page 103)
