Obsequies ~ Organn

Isidore-Lucien Ducasse’s surrealist prose poem Les Chants de Maldoror is centered around “a figure of absolute evil who is opposed to God and humanity, and has renounced conventional morality and decency” (Wikipedia).  The work is accompanied by a public warning, and

City ~ A Goal is an image
