the original earth goddess?
cool pic Zeph, where is it?
Maybe I'm pushing this vegan diet too hard.
If that oak starts pestering me again, I'm calling the police.
What the hell was in that sun-block?
(Guilty as anonymous above)
The gardening course promised "green fingers" but this is ridiculous.
Is that a Christmas tree or are you just pleased to see me?
I'll stop now!
Excellent, Mouth!
My suggestion: When I have a really bad hair day I find the best thing is just to take a nap.
'hey, who grassed me up'
she's from Moss Side you know
her name's Heather
Her name might be Heather but she's from Chelsea, or she was :)
...she's in touch with her roots, likes Herb Alpert and Miracle Gro, a cultivated lady who mows what she wants and weeds an earthy man with sap
...do we get our own coats here?
Oh, she's a Sloane Hydrangea is she?
celtic goddess napping?
Definitely superhuman, Guitou - if you look, you can see some people in the background, gives you an idea of her size.
or mother nature transformation into human.....as a movement away from nature into human subjectivity.
or vis/versa: vis medicatrix naturae...
Sloane Hydrangea LOL. It made think of an old joke, but since zeph and guitou have hopelessly raised the tone, here's another:
How do you say 'lawnmower' in French?
Un cudegras.
Where's the cloakroom?
tony,
rather: un cudegrasse
Thanks, guitou, I've only ever done this one orally before...
one pill makes you bigger,
and one pill makes you small...
... Go Ask Alice?
Alice will have everything you want... even a coup de grass..
Sloane hydrangea and green fingers are my favourites so far!
"the cultivated woman who likes miracle grow", was not bad at all.
Lawna Doone, Margaret Thatcher, Kate Bush, Greener Lollabridgida, Angelina Hilly, Kim Wilde, Michelle Pfizer or
Jane Fronda
...someone stop me, please
Cleopatiotra?
Mowna Lisa?
Ok, file: grassy moll, kate mossy, Lea Remick.
Calm down File, listen to the nice music about a green girl.
Lara Croft, The Power-Tuft Girls...
How green was my Sally.
Gonna trim my pitch up.
Lea Remmick is very good, so is Joni ta
Knolly Ringwald?
one man went to mow....
there's a furrow needs tilling, arrrgh
bit of a hairy chest tho, nevermind, 'We plough the fields and scatter...'
Salade de Femme.
Sheena is a Punk Rockery
Grassy Moll, lol.
...her mother is a leek
Dejeuner sur l'Herb
lovely joni, zeph :)
i can't compete with the sterling work on offer here; but whatever witchcraft she was up to, it must have really pissed 'em off to tar-and-leaf her like that ...
Dejeuner sur l'Herbe, sorry Edouard
I mean this
Zeph - loved the Joni link. Strangely, I have that song in three formats now but never knew it was called that...
grassy green goddess,
you are all things to all men:
prayed to and preyed on.
Miss Viensbroutermongazon.
and that's it.
I'll take the small pills because it's cheaper.
Hooray, the first pome!
I can take or leave Joni M a lot of the time, but she will certainly be let into Heaven for writing the Blue album.
Miss Grazeonmyturf, Guitou? Cheeky girl..
there's a lot of joni worth having been listened to at least once in a teenage life...
don't know that i would say the same for genesis, though.
guitou - be sure to take a sample of this on your journey down the rabbit hole:

(have i posted that already somewhere before? how very groundhog day of me if i have...)
cute clip thanks marcela.
I am surprised there is no reference made to the:
-green grass girl.
Hey, Greengrass would like this lady :) - she's maybe a little tall for him though.
like: sculpture of madame greengrass
by ed scissorhands.
:))
wild ma nature tamed.
Prostrate before her master:
topiarism.
Te Vahine Fenua
Te Tane Miti
Te Here Nui
which roughly translates as ... ?
Well, thanks for that, Offie:)
I only lay down
to enjoy the greenery
and now look at me
and thanks to you, zeph; a very nice, entertaining idea.
what Tony said
did some research into Offie's words of wisdom and they mean:
"The sky is blue because of all the dead fish in the atmosphere"
ดีนาคนาค
Well, somewhere to be silly, eh? always a good plan.
Thanks for the translation File, thought it must be something like that:)
...er, should hastily add that I found that translation in a source called Hackiman's Book of Lies...
...along with the little known fact that All Muslims are forbidden to eat glass
Grass?
glass
...well, that's what they told me but if they'd ever seen Grass as buxom and voluptuous as Knolly Ringwald here they'd probably have forbad that too, forsooth
Britney Spears one night stand new chlorophyll diet
To get sexy to lose weight got involved in the project
gimme one more time ,gimme one more time, fAck!
drank it all, turned green, still sleeping in the pArk.
Her reflection in the pond
often swims before our eyes
know the image
only in the dual realm
green britney'voice
become eternal
(deletions = Herr Rilke and M. Tougoal having trouble with multiple posts)
All sorts of thoughts come to mind - I think of the Green Man at Fountains, for instance, but mostly, having read most of the thread, I wonder why this makes me think of shrivelled corn circles of male genitalia and pre-historic chalk images of same, yet the female image is the earth goddess.
Hum.
Paul Greengrass
btw this garden was called The Garden of Dreams and was intended to illustrate the stress-relieving properties of plants!
zeph,
I just watched a documentary with interviews about the work of landscape sculptor David Goldsworthy.
Many of his works are made with natural elements
such as ice, wood, grass and even leaves and are often short-lived.Amazing technique..
http://www.arthistory.sbc.edu/artartists/photoandy.html
Yes, lovely stuff - I like the red pool, simple idea and so striking.
The green sleeping girl was made by a sculptor called Sue Hill who also made this one.
The green girl was reportedly bought by Olivia Harrison.
olivia being george's wife? forgive my ignorance...
the other sculpture you posted link to, zeph, has a certain goldsworthy quality to it. now hereally is the god's bollocks...
IMHO.
bonfire night - perhaps the green girl and her hair some sort of alternative guy?
Yes, sorry, half asleep when I posted that, Olivia as in Mrs George.
The Goldsworthy stuff is stunning.
Not sure how well the grassy girlie would burn, one could make a combustible version cf The Wicker Man:
btw, Goldsworthy's first name is Andy, not David as I mentioned above, sorry.
....and he lives in Scotland.
goodness, guitou, if you hadn't posted this erratum i wouldn't have realized you were talking about my absolute idol, andy goldsworthy!!
great minds, eh!
i treasure books of his work as personal bibles - would love to see the doc you mention. any utube clips?
Wasnt so keen on the photo at first, but now it's starting to grow on me.
bd: lol.
More Goldsworthy here. If you click through the slideshow there are some nice pics.
I reckon if you got Andy Goldsworthy in to do your patio you'd be wanting a fixed price not an hourly rate.
bd - if you can get goldsworthy to do my patio... well. i'll find the money.
i was looking for some sort of documentation of the
artist at work and also found this, which i rather liked...
I've seen that documentary too - Rivers and Tides - assuming it's the same one. It was almost hypnotic. At least once, a piece would collapse after Andy had spent many hours consructing it, and he very patiently started all over and built it again.
Zeph - how did Mrs. Harrison get her home I wonder? I wouldn't have guessed she was portable.
finding, weaving, placing, shaping
pure circles in an impure world
forming, leaving, winding, tying
man lines and curves in woods
timbrous birch and stringy weeds
pinning even tiny leafen
nature utters written words
in verse, if only for a season
thanks for the Golden introduction, he's like English Nature Zen isn't he? Recalls a bit of Atwood tho when she talks of man 'Squaring [nature's] Circle', literally and in reverse in AG's case, very beautiful on many levels
Nice pome File.
Munni, I took the pic at Chelsea Flower show and they don't have much time to build things there so she must have been brought in ready-made..I think there's quite a strong framework underneath made of chicken wire or whatever.
Goldsworthy's pieces all have to be built on site though and are famously labour-intensive!
Yes, I love the poem too, file. I'm intrigued by the minimalistic punctuatiion; it adds to my pleasure, though I feel incapable of doing it myself: I even punctuate my texts!
That's why I don't send texts, Tony: takes me too long to find the commas :)
perhaps you could do it in reverse Tony, write your naturally punc.ed text and then force yourself to take out the symbols
really smitten by Goldsworthy's works, gonna try some myself, perhaps it's just me but I can't help thinking it's a bit like Parkour
I think that's just you Filo:)
Encore là ? Elle prend racine, non?
Racine? Eh? Take it to another level why not. Though Racine is not the greatest of French humourists.
"...Vous que mille verdures me forçaient d'estimer ;
Vous qui êtes plante, enfin que je voudrais aimer."
Just caught up with the fun.
Well played everyone!
Last effort from me at least.
Mystery of Bill and Ben's multiple viagra orders solved.
Great captions, MotM!
HenryMoon, how you do raise the tone :) though I fear my policy of providing translations for our esteemed monoglot readers has proved short-lived.
The best I can do in the Racine stakes is "Humus toute entière à sa proie attachée?"
and I've no chance of translating that...
Love the ""Humus toute entière à sa proie attachée?", Zeph.
Given that I favour lateral, intuitive mistranslations, I'd probably come out with "wholesome chickpea tied to altar in Tahiti".
But that's my twisted mind at work and shouldn't asparagus the offsides...
Z & H,
You should probably take it easy on the organic food. I mean look what it's done to that poor woman.
And don't trust translators, they're a notoriously two-tongued bunch.
Offside - talking of which, you never said what your earlier Tahitian post meant - was it the polynesian for "Who's your big green friend?"
Zeph,
I'm just ashamed of my poor command of reo ma'ohi, of which I know only a few words.
Translation of my very naïve "poem":
The Land Woman
The Ocean Man
The Great Love
Nice...very mythic :)
Well, I'd get stuck if I tried anything more complicated (like sentence structures).
:)
I don't take my lobster for a walk anymore but hey, je suis le tenebreu, la tour abolie....
Someone can correct my franglais and pay tribute to Gerard de Nerval.
Surely.
Je suis le ténébreux, le veuf, l’inconsolé
Le prince d’Aquitaine à la tour abolie
I'm lobster-intolerant, myself, but I used to like the pome.
Can't see a connection with the grassy lady though:)
Unless the lobster just bit her and that's why her hair's like that...
Zeph, Mimi,
it's the lobster you should be worried about. According to the latest research anyway:

Oh, dear... and those poor lettuces, screaming as they're pulled out of the ground...it's a cruel world.
