Random Friday Afternoon Art - Sometimes the Bull Wins

This is "The Dead Toreador," an 1864 painting by Édouard Manet, which was originally the bottom half of a larger painting.  It can be seen at The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.  It's in one of my favorite rooms, full of wonderful impressionist paintings.  For some reason, this is my favorite.

Friday Afternoon Poetry - Again and Again

A little something by the wonderful early 20th century German poet Rainer Maria Rilke (who was a man, in case you're wondering):

Again and Again
   
  Again and again, however we know the landscape of love
and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,
and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others
fall: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lie down again and again
among the flowers, face to face with the sky.

Rainer Maria Rilke
