Dreams come true : Pneuborn-7II and Pneuborn-13

Just have a look at these "babies" :

Seven month old infant


13 month old infant    





Their parents are in Osaka :http://www-hi.ise.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp/projects-e.html#baby

You don't need to bear a baby for nine months any more: you can have one like this, ... so cute!

Blake inspired by Milton, Jerusalem and Satan


And did those feet in ancient time.
Walk upon England's mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;

Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,

Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land
William Blake's preface to  Milton's "Paradise Lost"


Satan, Sin and Death. William Blake illustration for Milton's "Paradise Lost".

WHO was Lucrezia Borgia?

Victor Hugo's?
Donizetti's?
Mario Puzo's?
Geneviève Chastenet's?
Only SHE knew. History is silent.
Why do we tend to belive the worst things we are told about people?

Picture+Poem: JOHN BAUER - PABLO NERUDA- Queen


I have named you queen.
There are taller ones than you, taller.
There are purer ones than you, purer.
There are lovelier than you, lovelier.

But you are the queen.

When you go through the streets
no one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
at the carpet of red gold
that you tread as you pass,
the nonexistent carpet.

And when you appear
all the rivers sound
in my body, bells
shake the sky,
and a hymn fills the world.

Only you and I,
only you and I, my love,
listen to it.
