Blue 19/2/07

I am a big fan of the work of Derek Jarman who died on this day in 1994. I thought I would honour him with these words;

Our name will be forgotten
In time
No one will remember our work
Our life will pass like the traces of a cloud
And be scattered like
Mist that is chased by the
Rays of the sun
For our time is the passing of a shadow
And our lives will run like
Sparks through the stubble
I place a delphinium, Blue, upon your grave.

-Blue, Text of a film by Derek Jarman (1942-1994)
