ezra pound, augustine and june.


a few days ago i was watching this interview by pasolini to exra pound, and as he mentioned a line from a poem ('too late i met you, sadness') i was struck by its contrast with the similar exclamation made by augustine in the confessions ('too late i loved you, beauty ancient and new'). the first drawing is from a still frame in the video, the second is from an unknown painting of augustine.

on another note, these are some snapshots from the past few days.
