This picture reminds me of a poem by the French Arthur Rimbaud (19th century), and I quote:
When the world comes down to this one dark wood
Before our four
astonished eyes...
To a beach for two
faithful children...
To a house of
music, for our clear accord...
I will find you.
Let there be no one
here below but one old man,
Beautiful and calm,
surrounded with "unimagined luxury"...
I will be at your
feet.
Let me penetrate
all of your memories...
Let me be that
woman who can bind you hand and foot...
I will strangle you.
When we are very
strong -- who can hold us back?
And very gay -- how
can ridicule harm us?
When we are very
bad -- what can they do to us?
Dress yourself up,
And dance,
And laugh.
I could never throw
Love out the window. (from "Lines", translated by Paul Schmidt) Note: I don �t expect this to be eligible for the competition, but I didn �t think you �d mind me sharing my free association of ideas based on the womanliness of the photo, the character of Darth Vader and Rimbaud �s poem. |

Thank-you everyone!
You made it very difficult to pick a winner. There were some great captions that made me laugh. There was even a poem!
In the end I chose Mariethehouse with her caption:
"Look mummy!I can �t believe it! A marshmellow man! yumee! "
After reading the caption I couldn �t get the picture of the costume being made of marshmallow out of my head. For my American friends you may picture marshmallow as the all white ""Staypuff" style, but here in Europe the standard is more multi colored and in many different shapes. Funny note: in Germany it is lovingly referred to as Mausespeck - mouse fat.
Thank you everyone for playing!
