Trailer for a film about this Sardinian dome, a building which was commissioned by Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti, who then separated before its completion. There’s an interesting piece in T Magazine about this and a couple of other iconic buildings (FLW’s Talesin and Eileen Gray’s E.1027) which were also born of ill-fated romance.  (photo by Romain Courtemanche for M Magazine)

It is an eerie experience to write something into a novel, believing it is pure fiction, and to learn later on — perhaps years later — that it is true.

The Italians have a word for the store of poems you have in your head: a gazofilacio […] in its original language it actually means a treasure chamber of the mind. The poems I remember are the milestones marking the journey of my life. And unlike paintings, sculptures or passages of great music, they do not outstrip the scope of memory, but are the actual thing, incarnate.

Clive James, ‘The poems I remember are the milestones marking the journey of my life,’ The Guardian (26 September 2020)

Close eye. Trust. Concentrate. Think: only tree. Make a perfect picture down to last pine needle. Wipe your mind clean. Everything but tree. Nothing exists whole world. Only tree.
