at around four thirty in the morning, sometimes later, the freight train whistle goes off. at seven i have to get dressed and drop my daughter off at school and drive to work. i would like to visit the factory that makes train horns, and ask them how they are able to arrive at that chord of eternal mournfulness. is it deliberately sad? are the horns saying, Be careful, stay away from this train or it will run you over and then people will grieve, and their grief will be as the inconsolable wail of this horn through the night? the out-of-tuneness of the triad is part of its beauty.

from childhood's hour i have not been
as others were; i have not seen
as others saw; i could not bring
my passions from a common spring
from the same source i have not taken
my sorrow; i could not awaken
my heart to joy at the same tone
and all i loved, i loved alone
then, in my childhood, in the dawn
of a most stormy life, was drawn
from every depth of good and ill
the mystery which binds me still
from the torrent, or the fountain
from the red cliff of the mountain
from the sun that round me rolled
in its autumn tint of gold
from the lightning in the sky
as it passed me flying by
from the thunder and the storm
and the cloud that took the form
( when the rest of heaven was blue )
of a demon in my view

Those are Serra sculptures indeed.

If I'm correct, there's an amazing set @ the art museum "Dia:Beacon" that I saw a few weeks ago.

It's funny you should mention the Dia:Beacon, my friend was telling me just last week that it was a relatively short and scenic trainride from New York and that the museum itself was amazing. Next time I visit I will definitely take a look.

Have you ever walked inside one? You get the most amazing feeling when the walls curve right next to you...

The closest I got to walking "inside" a Serra sculpture was at the Gagosian gallery in Chelsea last summer. One of the installations, shown below, was a walkthrough type installation with huge slabs of rusting metal resting on their side. It was fun to watch people walking around inside from the outside; you basically saw heads and hats floating around in a sea of rusty metal.

It's always worth checking it out. Most of the pieces are...abstract, such as the 'Large Pile of Glass.' (which my 11-year old cousin happened to trip over, causing a bit of a commotion with a nearby security guard :D ) But overall, some of the installations there are just mindblowing. One of my favorites was this several ton monolith that had been placed in an alcove just large enough for it:

...................
... two swans: we saw two swans
...................and they were fighting
...............or they were coupling
...................or they were stabbing the ground for some prize
...............worth nothing, but fought over, so worth that, worth
the fought-over glossiness: the morning's fragile-tubed glory.


and this is the soul: like it or not. yes: the soul comes down: yes: comes
into the deer: yes: who dies: yes: and in her death twins herself into swans:
fools us with mist and accident into believing her newfound finery

and we are not afraid
though we should be

and we are not afraid as we watch her soul fly on: paired
as the soul always is: with itself:
...............with others.
.........................................two swans...

child. we are done for
in the most remarkable ways.

"Your love is sunlight that transcends prison walls and bars, stroking every inch of my skin, warming my every cell, letting me maintain my inner calm, magnanimous and bright, so that every minute in prison is full of meaning. But my love for you is full of guilt and regret, sometimes heavy enough to hobble my steps. I am a hard stone in the wilderness, putting up with the pummeling of raging storms, and too cold for anyone to dare touch. But my love is hard, sharp, and can penetrate any obstacles. Even if I am crushed into powder, I will embrace you with the ashes.... (http://reason.com/blog/2010/10/08/even-if-i-am-crushed-into-powd)"
