Haha! I knew whose quote this was before I even finished reading it. :) Do you know much about Tim Burton's days at Disney? I learned a lot about his time there from one of his biographies. I'm afraid he didn't really fit in there. I read that he spent a lot of time under his desk, which weirded people out. I'm so glad that he found his own niche!
This quote just keeps on giving in the amusement department for me. :) I recently read a long article on Tim Burton's time at Disney. Now I want to read a biography! He sounded very unhappy and on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but obviously that challenging time helped him to discover his authentic self as an artist. Perhaps if he hadn't sucked at the Disney-style and had been able to fake it, he may never have found his way back to the path of his own vision.
Love it... love Tim Burton!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Luisa,

ReplyDeleteHi King Unicorn,
DeleteHaha. I'd be interested to see some of Tim Burton's work from the Disney roadkill stage of his career.
The Gothic
ReplyDeleteI am the poet of the dark
cropping in cold gardens
dead flowers
with pale hands
Am I being dark
who watches the night
with the look of a vampire
trying to find beauty
that lurks in every shadow
My eyes painted black
see what they can not
be seen
by mortal eyes
I am the night mist
ear of
gargoyles
the cathedrals
I wander in the dark skies
where the eyes of
crows
shine
the magical twilight
in the dark
see the light
few still
produces
and on earth where beings
day
creep
gently with plan
my wings
dark angel
My loneliness
devours the hours
waiting for the day is done
to fall on me
cover of night
where daydream
without arousing
My verses written
with blood
runs like a warm rain
in abandoned buildings
where I leave the lament of a world
ill
recorded
Disease left by beings
day
that destroy the world
with their impious rage
Who are the strangers?
Or are you crazy?
Leave me alone with my sorrow
because the left is crying
After all, someone needs to cry
then
it's me
being of darkness
Nosferatu
Let me light my fire
in the land of the dead souls
I lie down on the tombstones cold and pies
left by beings
of old
Let me sing
dark bowels
Close to me
the world is sick
maybe there is more healing
someone needs to cry
then it's me
being the dark night
