Sir Alex Ferguson's debut

Although the Reds had taken just one point from Ferguson's opening two games, at Oxford and Norwich, the new manager's debut programme notes laid bare his mantra. "Taking over a club of magnitude of Manchester United is an awesome prospect," he wrote. "But ultimately a football club is a football club and I shall simply try to run things at Old Trafford in what I believe to be the right way. I am not really interested in what has happened here in the past. I don't mean any disrespect to the great achievements of Manchester United over the years. It's simply that now there is only one way to go, and that is forward."

the Might of Art

It was the first time i found this feeling about art,maybe the first time someone showed this in pictures;a honest dazzling film;

The movie is about former well-known painter Fernhofer who interrupted his grand project "La Belle Noiseuse"10 years ago. Reason?yet to be discovered! He lives with his wife Liz in a castle cast away.

The young couple nicolas (a young painter) and his spouse Marrianne have planned to visit Fernhofer; Nicolas used to admire Fernhofer;but they face Master's bizarre behavior and fianlly Fernhofer perposed Marriane to become his model to resume the dusty ambition.

The movie shows 17-18 min of pure painting;not to mention it's a long movie(about 4hr length) ,so it needs patience definitly;but so rewarding,i mean it becomes an outstanding journey with Fernhofer and the painting process wich resembles the knowing and the suffering due to it.

There are certain scenes that raise the feeling of sympathy with the artist;as you see him unable to direct his source of inspiration to canvas.

To lead performances have been highly praised (Michel Piccoli as Fernhofer and Emmanuelle Beart as Marianne),but i think Jane Birkin (playing the role of Fernhofer 's wife;Liz) plays a key role in the whole movie.

Finally : it's about a 4 hour epic about art,love,sacrifice.

Azure

I wander , crestfallen

Nomad ,

Children ;laughing at me

Inside:

I see this growing

Pain,

Sweet pain,

Memories ;to parade,

Happiness....ah

How transient,

What's this?

A fever?,The disease of the aging?

or

Tears i shed

Overflown ?

I see these growing,

from the inside,amid the flames

Outside;

They want to stone me

I don't even frown,

I can't run away?

or i 'm open the pain?

They awake no hatred ,no anger,

not a simple sense in me

They can provoke,

Walking far from each other

At the edge of time,

They shout at me,

"Nomad...Loser...Run away...show us how far "

"show us"

"Unless you can fly away"

I feel these,

My Wings,

I reach the beautiful plateau,

Magic balance

Peace

Silence;splendid

There's kindness,mercy for all

It seems glowing hearts of martyrs,

Enlightened the sky,

Now I stretch my wings,

but

suddenly

Dust blurs my sight,

It's doubt,again

Am i to fail?

Turbulant waves of knowledge

Push me forwaed,

I close my eyes,

I take a deep breath,

I can't feel my flesh,

I'm gliding

Megin Runar

I find my flowers on paths astray

Megin runar on paths well hid and torch lit

So rise snakes of the golden secret gleam

Thou phantoms of the midnight

The darkness sways for my eyes like a moth , a moth

Mysteries subtle and secret , to dim to touch

So rise thou spirits of the midnight gleam

In thy most secret cloaks and signs

Touch the night with your invoking

So raven black at heart

To dark for speech

And hidden from the eye

The glow the ritual the wonder

Solitude loneliness , megin runar

The darkness sways for my eyes like a moth, a moth

Mysteries subtle and secret , to dim to touch

Solitude , Loneliness

Megin runar

Sublime

Many times i wept,

This doubt,

Inside

Eager to unwind,

Still...

You're there

I'm sure you're there

But no one is aware,

The eyes seek excuses,

Yet the mighty heart ,

Rescues us,

There's a dim light,

It lingers ,

But never dies

More than Meets the Eye

See-Saw

Marigolds are very much in love,but he doesn't mind,

Picking up his sister,he makes his way into the seas or land,

all the way she smiles,

She goes up while he goes down,down,

Sits on a stick in the river,

Laughter in his sleep,

Sister's throwing stones ,hoping for a hit,

He doesn't know so then,

She goes up while he goes down,down,

Another time,another day,

A brother' sway to leave,

Another time,another day,

She'll be selling plastic flowers on a sunday afternoon,

Picking up weeds,she hasn't got time to care,

All can see he's not there,

She grows up for another man ,and he's down,

Another time,another day,

A brother's way to leave,

Another time,another day,

A brother's way to leave
