How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I'm sure everyone knows this poem.:) I've heard it a million times and it never gets old

...dali is prob my favorite...the museum in st pete florida is incredible...some of the pieces up here i have had at some point as prints in my last apartment...on the starry night piece...i cant help but hear the song...

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and grey

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colours on the snowy linen land

Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen

They did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds and violet haze

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colours changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand

Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen

They did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you

But still your love was true

And when no hope was left inside

On that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do

But I could have told you Vincent

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Like the strangers that you've met

The ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know

What you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen

They're not listening still

Perhaps they never will...

wow whAt a thread.... and on bump!!!!

i love the arts..i used to spend hours in the Met solo...time used to fly by...im not bein a herb or anythin but Nadim's pic that he sold was off the chain...even though im not too much of a fan of modern ish...or wherever u choose to classify Nadim;s work..

i cant post shit from this comp here...but my fav artist is no one else but the genius of the northern rennaissance Albrecht Durer...the man is amazing..from prints..to sketches to paintings to etchings...this guy truly was amazing...St Jerome in his Study is one of the works i admire most by him...not to mention the print of the 4 Horsemen of the Appocalypse which he did by hand!!!! AMAZING!!!

a close 2nd to me has to be Seurat. his A Day On The Grand LaJette isnt too awe inspring..but the amount of work that was put into the painting itself merits respect...his pointilism technique is mindblowing...considering the amount of effort..planning...patience..and skill it took to complete such a piece...

the raft of the medusa...death of socrates(MET)..rape of the sabine women(MET)...the merchants (in britains national art museum)...the harvesters(MET)...and all watercolors by Hokusai are amongst my favorite...

Dali is def. a master....but unfortunately too many know-nothings dick ride him and picasso just because theyre famous names

Anything with the arts, i fall in love with...from writings, to sculpture to paintings ...Dali..definitely a genius btw (i.e. Aphrodite de Cnide)

My fav classic movie..."Gone with the wind"...yes i know corny, but definitely amazing nonetheless. It's art;)

Normal Rockwell...simple, yet absolutely perfect the way he managed to capture a generation in his own ways

and btw...my computer:pissy:

I hate when I try to talk to people about art, interpreting a painting and such and they look at me with this glazed look in their eye or give me a "wha?" I think too many people are wrapped up in TV and garbage movies to realize true art :blank:
