I have recently started reading good poetry, partly because I was searching for something good to write in my farewell letter, and partly because of some other reasons. So, I came across this beautiful poem recently, and I can only wish that someday I will be able to write something even remotely as good as this -

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

Pink Floyd – the psychedelic rock band, which excels not only in its music, but also in the design of its album covers. You have to observe them carefully to be able to appreciate the intricate job that is done on each one of them. Per me, creating a cover for anything (a book, an album) is and extremely difficult task, first you have to understand the entire feeling that the work is supposed to represent, then you have to summarize it in a single photo, montage or a design. And as if Pink Floyd’s music were not un-describable enough, most of their album cover designs do succeed in capturing the essence of their music!

These are the covers that have inspired generations of people, tshirt designs, and have have left a dent in the pop-culture as we know it. Here is a collage that I created some time ago using multiple Pink Floyd album covers. Finding the covers was the difficult part, as the final collage was created in a jiffy using Picasa.

Some of the more famous covers in the above collage:
Dark side of the moon, Ummagumma, Obscured by clouds and The Wall.

Let me know if you face trouble appreciating what I just appreciated will try my best to help you out.
