Kingbird: Rivers

"The River", Butlers Wharf Pier, London, 2013. Duration: 3 days, photos by Alida Sayer, poem: 'Blackcurrant River', A. Rimbaud.

 

 

 

 

Everything flows with [the] horrible mysteries of ancient

landscapes

It is along these banks that you can hear

 

 

the dead passions of errant knights:

but how the wind is wholesome.

Let the traveller look through these clerestories:

 

 

 

he will journey on more bravely.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I descended into impassable rivers 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

I no longer felt guided by the ferrymen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blackcurrant river rolls unknown in strange valleys, blackcurrant river rolled unknown into strange valleys:

 

 

 

- when several winds swept down.
