Desert talking to Lawrence of Arabia by 1morephoto

“All men dream: but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
wake in the day to find that it was vanity
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they may act their dream with open eyes,
to make it possible.”

“The desert was held in a crazed communism by which Nature and the elements were for the free use of every known friendly person for his own purposes and no more.”

T. E. Lawrence, (1888 – 1935)
“The Seven Pillars of Wisdom”

“You wonder what I am doing? Well, so do I, in truth. Days seem to dawn, suns to shine, evenings to follow, and then I sleep. What I have done, what I am doing, what I am going to do, puzzle and bewilder me. Have you ever been a leaf and fallen from your tree in autumn and been really puzzled about it? That’s the feeling.”

Letter to Eric Kennington (6 May 1935)

Wow Gorgeous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mais je ne savais pas que tu avais voyagé si loin :-))))))))))
C’est absolument superbe Magali !!!!
Je voyage très loin
avec pas grand chose….
mais le désert me fait rêver , oui
et Peter O ’Toole en Lawrence , les yeux perdus dans le désert
je ne rêve plus
je me pâme !!!!!!!

C’est un personnage qui me touche infiniment
considération guerrières mises à part
son amour de l’Histoire et des peuples est une grande leçon de sagesse

Merci pour le “gorgeous”,
j’adore quand tu me parles anglais, c’est classssssss

Lawrence would relate to this… beautiful work, as always, and the quotes are quite relevant today.
I’m so happy you read the quotes
he’s a fabulous soul to me….
and you are so right Margot, it’s relevant today

Merci!!!!!!

Cette haute et fière silhouette évoque intensément celle de Lawrence. Il me vient l’envie d’oser cette paraphrase de Vian: L’élégance est la fierté du désespoir.
Vian est un des plus libres esprits qui soit
alors
j’apprécie infiniment ce petit pont entre ces deux âmes là ……..

L’élégance de l’âme est le plus pur des trésors…..

Il ne s’achète pas…

Merci pour tes mots

An inspired photo, Magali! You crop the world to reveal its beauty. When I saw it in the feed I thought it was a nun in a storm, but now I see the beautiful association with Lawrence of Arabia. Lovely quotes, too. Bravo Madame; this is sooo.. you ;-)))
To be honest
this image when I saw it, drinking a coffee,
just made me dream
I was in the desert
I really was……

Have you read this book “The seven Pillars of wisdom”?
Add it to your list!

Thank you for your words
