The Lovers’ Chronicle
Dear Muse,
© copyright 2020 mac tag/cowboy coleridge all rights reserved
dreams of possessin’
rather than bein’
time is elastic
and inspiration
expands it
like those who have only
imagined and never been,
believin’ that one gets to chose
but ok with the refrain,
fought the wrong fight
and found out too late
now just tryin’ to leave
somethin’ behind

the vision inside
will not be still
i thought i learned
a laugh in the twilight
a sigh in the mornin’
hum the tune
sing the blues
underneath
peel away the layers
you are gone
but everything remains

Loner’s Mornin’
I write this…
Because the voice inside me
Will not be still
I loved a woman
I gave a lot to her
I thought I learned what love was
I laughed in the lover’s twilight
Now I sigh in the loner’s mornin’
I hummed the lover’s tune
Now I sing the loner’s blues
She got under my desire
She peeled away the layers
Now she is gone
But the desire remains

Today is the birthday of William Turner Dannat (Hempstead, New York; July 9, 1853 – March 12, 1929 Monte Carlo); artist.
Though at one time his name was mentioned alongside other great American painters such as Sargent and Whistler, Dannat’s popularity was more in Europe than his homeland. As he approached middle age, the financially secure artist began to devote more and more of his time to other interests: fencing, boxing and later automobile racing. For nearly twenty years, Dannat ceased painting and when he resumed around 1913, his art had adopted a more surrealistic style with illusionary landscapes and bizarre themes. During his hiatus from painting, Dannat spent much of his time touring Europe studying the techniques of the great masters while remaining active in artistic circles in Paris where he served at one time as the president of the Society of American Painters.

Today is the birthday of Saturnino Herrán Guinchard (Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, 9 July 1887 – 8 October 1918, Mexico City); painter. Herrán is known for his paintings of Mexican indigenous people. In 1910 he participated in the exhibition commemorating the Centennial Anniversary of Mexico’s Independence. A desire to be a mural painter appeared at the end of his brief career, and in 1911 he completed large-scale paintings in the School of Arts and Crafts. In 1912, at 25 years old, he met Rosario Arellano, his future wife. In 1914 they were married. He died on 8 October 1918 in Mexico City, aged 31.
