Melancolie in Settembre
by Peppino di Capri

L'Heure Bleue
has arrived at
Vienna's Rose Garden.
The National Theater building
still retains the faint golden glow
of the sun's last rays
sinking fast behind the tree tops,
irretrievably

giving free reign
to atmospheric blues
before dusk falls

A sea of roses
burning bright,
one last rearing up
as twilight gives way
to dove-grey dusk

"And every year there is a brief, startling moment
When we pause in the middle of a long walk home and
Suddenly feel something invisible and weightless
Touching our shoulders, sweeping down from the air:
It is the autumn wind pressing against our bodies;
It is the changing light of fall falling on us
."

Quoted from the poem
"Fall" by Edward Hirsch

"Laden with Fruit"
is from William Blake's
"To Autumn" poem

A Slice of Chocolate Bread
brought to you
by a Viennese bakery.

What's next,
Viennese hot dogs
with chocolate chips?

Just a little smile
for you, dear readers!
More later,
after I have dressed
the plums in my kitchen
in some fancy dough,
rolled them into little balls,
boiled them in water,
fished them out and put
them on dry land, i.e.
golden toasted bread crumbs -
fresh from the bakery which
so gernerously handed out
the slice of chocolate bread
for tasting -
and then served
with a little homemade
caramel sauce,
Zwetschkenknödel,
in short, plum dumplings,
with a Merisi twist.
Bon appetit!



In case you are wondering
why I am toiling in the kitchen
instead of working
on my photography:

I had a
Terrible, Horrible, No Good,
Very Bad Photography Day

yesterday:
The gorgeous pictures
I took yesterday
while grape harvesting -
yes I work about a couple of hours
as a grape picker,
getting my hands all juicy and sticky -
the pictures, all gone,
in an instant, thanks to
a brand-new card reader!
Yes, one little flickering
and my card, with the fruit
of an afternoon's labour,
all gone!

Not only that,
my main project yesterday,
a wine commercial
that I need for school,
did not work out either.
My fault, beginner's lesson:
Know thy subjects,
know thy props,
know thy lighting!
At least, I learned a few lessons
with that one, but over the lost
grape pictures gathered in the field,
I cried a little, when I realized
this morning that they were gone
for good.


So, that's the reason
I decided that for once
I shall play in the kitchen,
hoping for an Erfolgserlebnis!

May your day be filled
with successful endeavours!
Yours,
Merisi

"... it must be said
that the Viennese coffeehouse

is a particular institution
which is not comparable to any other
in the world.

As a matter of fact,
it is a democratic club

to which admission
costs the small price
of a cup of coffee.

Upon payment of this mite
every guest can sit for hours on end,

discuss, write, play cards,
receive his mail, and,

above all, can go through
an unlimited number
of newspapers and magazines."
