2012-02-28T06:32:00.003-08:00

as the snow
engulfs my hut
at dusk
my heart, too
is completely consumed

by ryokan,

i enjoy when things meet or match

nature with cloth, food with

dress, lines on the paper with

the words someone had said

2012-02-28T04:52:00.000-08:00

my first linocut,

using proper material, bigger size

kept me up half of night got blisters

and few cuts. so this is print

of three whales - blue, white

and killer one.

i used very thick cardboard, so

it can be leaned on the wall,

today i woke up

and saw that one more item from the shop

was sold. for two years i had

customers only from russia, now seeing some

people all over the world liked my little works too

makes me so happy.

2012-02-27T13:58:00.000-08:00

третий день странное состояние,

что все медленно меняется и вот еще немного и

это будет видно. и вот, наконец, хочется быть

приветливой только когда так чувствуешь,

а не всегда. спокойной, вежливой, но

не показывать больше, чем у тебя есть.

вот аня переезжает еще дальше в пригород,

где поля морковки, малоэтажный дом и

там очень красиво и чисто, и родится девочка

через два месяца, а у оли через несколько дней.

и наш термос хороший такого приятного цвета,

поздняя теплая осень, одинаковые ботинки,

низкий корявый вяз, хризантемы, зеленые скамейки,

мое самое любимое место в моем городе навсегда.

кажется, что там все случилось.

2012-02-27T05:31:00.004-08:00

baby leek

with moomin towel

and more note pads

for recipes

2012-02-26T08:28:00.003-08:00

today is the day of forgivness,
i remember this scene in a movie
two friends ladies, were talking
about the fight they had and a break-up,
with a husband. one started comparing what happened,
then the other one said - it does not metter
what the person have done -
it is forgivness, ability to forgive people.
maybe its true.

sugar viola for you

and new things in my shop,

envelopes and mini cards for letters - here

2012-02-25T07:13:00.003-08:00

i love old wooden ball-buttons,

from america and сzechoslovakia,

with small stump shanks and slightly

faded surfaces. i`ll be making many

things out of those and the first one

is brass pin, blueberry pin

and what are your favorite things to collect?

2012-02-23T13:35:00.002-08:00

starting my project with

hollow glass earrings, were brought to

me from andorra by n., i could not find

what kind of berries are these, but here they are

and first time i tried

leek and sweet pepper

rice mix. this corner of my kitchen

reminds me of all the countries i miss

sandy wood teal green soft white shadow

2012-02-23T02:05:00.001-08:00

first of all,

thank you, vibeke

for making this post,

i was so happy to participate.

and maybe i was feeling

this coming - made washi tape

long flags and got the whole box

of cherry-tree spring cakes

and look what i found

my very first paper clay house

made as a gift packed and forgotten

for a long long time

2012-02-22T09:12:00.000-08:00

these were the first things

i made for my shop, two years ago

but somehow didn`t quite show them a lot

bleeding heart, northern herbs,

sweet white peas and plant with roots

all embroidered on the cotton fabric, with

cotton thread

i miss good books, the ones from my childhood

this one is about puppy, tomka

who sees dreams and in these dreams

she runs after wild animals and helps

her owner

2012-02-21T02:21:00.001-08:00

everytime i feel shipwrecked i go walking,

as i did yesterday, thinking about some things

i could not understand, happened long ago,

sorting them out so i wont go there again.

but today,

have talked with o.

and answered some

questions from v, feeling all myself, so

linen porridge for breakfast

and moomin stamps out of

my best paper from finland

thats how i made my glue for the stamps -

1 tsp school glue, 1/2 tsp vinegar

and 2 drops of mint flavoring.

i have so many things to show,

2012-02-19T08:45:00.000-08:00

straw stars from yukino,

hanging right above our computers

and

everything is on the right places

and small calendar with copper

paintings, i keep this on with lone lady

in the hat dark cafe in front

even though the month had passed

and morning horse -

suomalainen mansikka kakku

2012-02-18T12:31:00.000-08:00

i dont have many books, last three years

we were moving a lot. but once i got this one -

white nature, by vincent munier

i bought it, brought it home

couldnt take my eyes off

since then i had this book with me

at every place we lived

and yesterday

i found white ink and carved one more

stamp, white swan

and you know sometimes im in such a rush

of doing things bursting. and right after this stamp,

little pendant - swan`s tear appeared

clear quartz in the brass tube

good night,

2012-02-17T03:00:00.001-08:00

these periwinkle glass beads are almost

one hundred years old, when i got them

they were filled with white clay and

ceramic crumbs, took a day in the water

and a needle to put a pin through for

these earrings

dear yukino,

fragile pin looks so right

on your linen bag.

now i have two of them,

yours, with swallow and a tone lighter,

from mom. with plums

2012-02-17T00:31:00.001-08:00

robert shumann,

to clara

ever thine

2012-02-15T04:33:00.001-08:00

from new york and i have in it

its true

so i made set of clips for u.

and crochet small baskets

nesting,

in each other

2012-02-14T13:35:00.005-08:00

according to an ancient chinese legend,

an emperor was told that the dragonfly island in

the sunrise sea (japan) had

he sent a dozen

young men and a dozen girls to the island.

they arrived at the islands after surviving
perilous storms and finding neither
magic herb nor inhabitants on the island,

they decided to stay.

and the place became their homeland,

late autumn, indian summer

i go to my garden in order to look at

these deep purples and maroons chrysanthemum

and here is the best spot,

with rusty tag and smaller flowers

2012-02-14T06:20:00.000-08:00

i read all the poems written by brodsky
in russian and when i started today reading them
in english i never found a match
i miss other languages and i miss
knowing english so poor
cos every country is a different world

i sit in the dark.
and it would be hard to figure out
which is worse; the dark inside, or the darkness out.
- i.b.

and sometimes i got far thinking these easily
could be my words feeling all the same emotions

linen rough string
through brass petals
of unfinished old necklace
and mat glass button made
a coal flower
and me, wearing dark berries

2012-02-13T10:48:00.000-08:00

i found this ribbon cotton thread and

got a new pony knitting hook

this `sleepy friend`

is my first toddler toy

did you have your favorite toy when you were a child?

the one you sleep with, eat with and talking quietly

even now

keeping in my mind toy story cartoon

i try to be gentle with every little thing around

and spring family,

mom and son, awaiting for warmer days

yesterday it was the coldest night ever

and today postcards to naoko and valerie

flew away to japan and france,

thank you, girls.

2012-02-12T12:12:00.000-08:00

from one home to another home

i went alone to the botanical garden

banks of the river were diveded in squares

by sun and shadow thats when i felt

increasingly growing wholeness

it was a working hour so

i met no people just birds - tomtits

around and inside low bushes

which were a dark corridor in

summertime, now air bonded everything

pumpkin,

black currants

n and m, thank you

and here, finally

first ones in the shop -

http://www.etsy.com/shop/olgainoue

2012-02-05T07:47:00.000-08:00

just listen to this one,

midnight by dorothy parker

the stars are soft as flowers, and as near;
the hills are webs of shadow, slowly spun;
no separate leaf or single blade is here-
all blend to one.

i`m spending evenings and nights

with poetry and my watercolors,

forget me not, harmony

2012-02-03T13:01:00.000-08:00

it is so cold here,

ice storm is coming from the north i heard

and i feel it in the air even here, in the city

thousands of pine needles on my face

i started to draw spring post cards

always inspired by japanese art, sumi - e

one color, one line endless story and depth

first one, iris

these letters together even

sound and look like the flower itself

2012-02-01T01:59:00.000-08:00

dear friends, if you happen to live in another country and if
you have little nature treasures as seeds stones twigs dry flowers
or leaves - you may write to me, send them to me and i will try
to make something out of it, as i had few people before who asked me
about it i thought maybe it can be a nice small project for us.

good news is, i`ve got mails

from china, poland, holland and latvia already

feeling good energy these days,

wanted to share

2012-01-31T13:54:00.000-08:00

сегодня сильный мороз, но я пошла домой пешком,
через несколько станций метро, по улице, где летом
шла и было солнце и на балконе стоял красивый дедушка
на широком балконе в доме с высокими потолками с окнами
широкую дорогу. мимо площади, тополей и лип, цирка,
и речки от которой шёл пар. и потом запахло так сильно поездами и
железной дорогой, что я вспомнила - это точно тот запах, который
я запомнила однажды ночью, когда была маленькая на нашем
вокзале в суоярви, запах почти в темноте, морозный, угольный,
холодный. хороший и родной.

2012-01-28T04:57:00.000-08:00

every other day i go out

for the whole day

never used candels before

but these days the smell of burning wick

is so familiar so half of the pack gone

you see - little wooden church

one piece that was left from kindergarten order

now mine one side slightly grey at every part

i love it

i have a spring long strip

of marimekko fabric

maybe pins and earrings will do

my dad said bear cub looks

just like bear cub he spent years

in the wild nature and for me he is

my expert on everything

yesterday,

it was such a great day.

date night we still call it

dream day

2012-01-25T11:30:00.000-08:00

i`m going to my native town

it seems smaller for me as i watch

cars here from 14th floor lights lights

cinema three blocks from us

i`m dreaming about old streets

of new york with their mist which

will never land

as tempting as it sounds

every week i have someone who asks me

to draw animal or flower on the birch

i enjoy doing this, and the sea gull never

came out so natural as this one. with pj songs,

her first ones,

where do white bells grow

2012-01-24T05:33:00.000-08:00

it`s cold here and sky is changing

from colorless to yellow pink and

goes to its blue

i opened my soaps from japan

the round one is more like bakery

even smell and rough edges

cant stop making stamps

like same songs every morning

charm of them,

first time after five years i wrote a poem

and little picture near it

went away to suburbs

to visit my friend - i wondered

after how much people change

2012-01-22T11:17:00.000-08:00

i`m keeping some photos

from summer for every season till summer comes again.

all the way to abo`s botanical garden

small museum with children studio

bandages in tin box sticked to the wall

wooden samples of their trees

birds on tops carved leaves

no people

2012-01-21T10:36:00.000-08:00

i like first bright evening shadows on the walls

across the room all covered with one tone

learning words pictures for porcelain earrings

with lavender and mole for brass locket

my new numbers and days are filled

with inner piece

2012-01-19T15:19:00.000-08:00

smooth flat pebbles i picked up

at the wild beach, onega lake

are now turning into my new album - seashore

i spent there few hours with my parents

waves were loud but low wind hold

the words from each other

there my mom found dry dragonfly

few of these things already found home

the art of giving things away

is much nicer for for me these days

2012-01-19T03:13:00.000-08:00

i had a little bag with frozen strawberries from poland

while putting them into the dought i found two huge

cranberries,

)

i made these cheese crackers

the most simple recipe i`ve seen

so tasty, good treat so summer trip i thought

and one more thing

there is a girl, very kind, very bright

i got all these twigs and bark and berries

from her. she is sick and no day goes by

without thinking about her getting better.

2012-01-16T03:25:00.000-08:00

little by little

i`m creating these exercises for children -

the mistery bag, as attractive as possible (by my mom)

- with little wooden objects, there are many games to

do here, finding a pair, the exact one, putting your things

inside to sharpen skills of recognizing common things

by touching them.

and vases with paper flowers, for counting.

i thought it would be a right

lesson if i add a vase marked `0` for

explaining the child true meaning of it.

like spindle box in montessori classroom.

hope you like it.

2012-01-15T05:10:00.000-08:00

white hibiscus green tea

rice crisps

miso clouds a little wakame

bread sticks

light morning

mom made me this beautiful coaster for my birthday

its summer plaid on the other side

bowl smells just like soil so first sips

taste so

2012-01-12T06:41:00.000-08:00

my space, has moved

from place to place, to another city

still makes me feel home as soon as

i see my things

2012-01-11T05:49:00.000-08:00

я поняла,

что очень скоро нужно сделать свою студию,

где будут полки монтессори, я буду их медленно заполнять,

будет много вещей, из которых можно сделать все что угодно,

библиотека с книгами - детскими и взрослыми,

небольшие вечера, утренники, но самое главное,

что я поняла, когда я работала в своей школе -

туда будет приятно идти, то чувство, когда встаешь

утром и ноги тебя сами несут на работу, и живот не болит,

когда ступаешь на лестницу, от того, что не знаешь куда себя деть,

когда так много можешь сделать, но внутри все связано,

как будто и руки не слушаются.

ленинский проспект здесь такой длинный

вдоль дороги слева парки, где ели как в сказке

на каждой ветке столько снега, что она

касается снега внизу,

пекарня, маленькие улицы узкие пересекают

проспект, приятно долго идти, пока темнеет на глазах

москва становится немного ближе, становится

знакомой мне

2012-01-09T09:20:00.000-08:00

вчера начался первый снегопад, пока мы шли в кино и когда

вышли через три часа, снег шел и шел. и завалил ветки сверху

и стволы деревьев с одной стороны и перила ступени.

в фильме была швеция, дом на скале - широкий одноэтажный

почти весь из стекла и даже на улицу не заперта дверь,

отодвигается в сторону, а не толкается. просто как продолжение

всего, что вокруг. как бывает рука и рукав похожи, или свитер

похож на занесенную хвоей землю

my morning hour

like never before can be long now

and undisturbed.

2012-01-09T02:13:00.000-08:00

empathy, with these same

colors

wishing to come back

2012-01-07T14:59:00.000-08:00

winter heather with no flowers

in raw brass ovals and circles

on these vintage hooks

the process of making those

leading me in the past

when everything had it`s own rythm

paper letters - long walks - distance

2012-01-07T03:55:00.000-08:00

home

2011-12-30T14:48:00.000-08:00

so i could not sleep last night, went to the kitchen and

made these wooden cubes into presents, i saw it in one

swedish magazine. i wish i could live somewhere near

places where people understand these things.

painted them and wrap with linen string.

we have three tine pines this year,

i put one in this earthy pot, when i touch it - it goes

smooth like the stones on the shore on the summer day.

my tupla, my favorite one.

and few things i made kind

wooden people in bears suits,

and simple necklace with

huge sphere - like a geometric

solid in my class - when you need

to match it with a picture of globe

2011-12-29T02:52:00.000-08:00

в день, когда я уехала, дома

зацвел багульник, цветы бело-розовые

как весной цветут яблони и вишни.

я вспомнила недавно вкус тех конфет финских,

что привозил мне сережа, и термос большой

с мороженым. сколько мне было лет, я не помню,

сидела на маленькой табуретке и лара меня подстригала.

помню вкус тех конфет и не могу описать,

помню печенье домино с двумя шоколадными

половинками, длинные лакричные конфеты с

маленькими темными детьми на них, как мы шли через лес, где

построили новые дома, болото, темный вечер, большие

черные качели, свет в окнах пятого этажа,

когда на первом его уже не видно и я бегу

домой по лестнице от страха, что уже темно.

кофту, белую, которую я затоптала в луже случайно

под качелью, а потом стирала и плакала.

я скучаю по вам, очень. люблю и скучаю,

так сильно, что даже не могу это перечитать,

не заплакав.

2011-12-24T14:23:00.000-08:00

finally

snow

still think about it

as a magic

this lichen, in a moment became grey

like a cloud blocks the sun and eyes could not

say what happened

all the colors are blending in dark

and i can not remember the background

thinking imagining something new

dad says

wild birds are

here, living in our places

they are keen and silent

and won`t go anywhere dirty

i miss taking photos

and touching bark

teaching math and sensorial to children

in the morning.

i`m glad i`ve found

so much.

2011-12-20T13:18:00.000-08:00

this summer

baby mushrooms

after few weeks of terrible heat

they appeared and i could not tell

every time my heart just ran faster

when i saw them one by one glossy

covered with moss tiny aspen leaves

pine needles on the road in the ditch

2011-12-12T10:29:00.000-08:00

i found small erasers

and they were just perfect for

my new blue whale stamp

used your old carving tools - dull and big

but in the end i loved it

calm that gives you sea and

deep colors like evening or depth of the water

are so good for me these days.

2011-12-10T01:51:00.001-08:00

little chocolate pot story

2011-12-07T00:33:00.001-08:00

i add buckwheat to

my soup and it smells like baby food,

mashed peas makes it green. i`m happy

with the second one, tasty and colorful

and i always like grinded black pepper on

avocado, opened dark purple zara bag

with this knife and spoon - its been waiting

for such a nice dinner.

floors are covered with

envelopes and ribbons papers ropes

all day long home

2011-12-06T01:25:00.001-08:00

i wish i had a mistletoe

somewhere near. so many plants i miss

and here is nothing, almost nothing here.

you brought me nineteen flowers

like i`m younger,

and another pin - i`m running out of

this earthy clay, deer with mistletoe

for my little shop`s gifts

2011-12-05T02:26:00.001-08:00

odd man out

once i thought

this years is like a winter to me.

when i left all the troubles there,

and third of my past life tought me

best lessons

cannot be - the person how puts his hand

on the heart does not remember the birth day of mine

can be

i like stoneware just like this coaster - volcanic stone

solid dark

makes me feel i`m keeping my cup near the seashore

and i never saw the sea. once, kaliningrad, but it was more like

the crowd of people on the narrow strip of sand. no water

two squashes for the pancakes

two iris candies, all white aroud

and the round trace of water

looks just like me

and

masuda toshio - fude no umi

too,

2011-11-30T00:08:00.001-08:00

иногда солнце выходит только к часу,

оно появляется не как раньше, в небе, высоко,

а на уровне моих глаз.мы живем выше теперь,

в доме,который еще выше, и у нас тоже сильный ветер уже несколько дней подряд,

он дует в окна, в щели между ними, по стенам и под обоями.

если я посажу эти косточки, то к новому году у меня будут

ростки хурмы.

2011-11-27T04:05:00.001-08:00

i`m feeling

i have a date, with a city.

one metro station was filled with flower and book stores

spring tulips with bruised leaves

marzipan with the same flower on it

horse-shaped pie with caramel covered almonds

it came out smoothly,

and may be i will be all right here,

2011-11-23T05:12:00.001-08:00

our 7th home,

and my first mushroom soup

i always hide this metal ring pinched through the towel

but somehow i got used to it.and i liked it. the tablecloth

looks just like m` one with blueberries and i think of

summer.and first time i needed a cream, we spent hours

cleaning the floors with pack of wet wipes this weekend

then fell asleep.

2011-11-13T03:16:00.001-08:00

это конец лета в саду.каждый раз, когда яркое солнце -

ты не видишь какого все цвета - и всё белое. и мне может не нужны

другие места в городе, все эти года был только сад и приморская.

у вас есть друг? которому можно все сказать и позвонить, как маме,

в любую минуту, и если звонить часто,чтобы никогда не появилась мысль,

что ты невовремя. всё самое лучшее приходит из ничего, как лучшая

игрушка - это кусок дерева с нарисованными глазами и когда

чувствуешь,что любишь кого-то до неба, не понимая как это случилось.

я до сих пор боюсь, что что-то сделаю не так. поэтому всё меньше делаю

первая.

эти колокольчики всегда росли около подъезда дома, там, где я родилась,

они росли за домом и по всему городу. папа сказал,что раньше я не фотографировала

совсем цветы.а теперь, они мне так нужны.

2011-11-09T12:49:00.000-08:00

last night i made

this new stamp with

resting deer.

somehow i enjoy doing stamps

so much it reminds me of days

in art school, standing hours and hours

next to the tall small table, carving clay

2011-11-07T13:08:00.000-08:00

it's coming on christmas
they're cutting down trees
they're putting up reindeer
and singing songs of joy and peace
oh i wish i had a river i could skate away on

two plants

we bought in the botanical garden

yours - with darker pot and bigger leaves

and mine, a little like a holly bush

2011-10-28T10:22:00.000-07:00

dear naoko,

i got it yesterday,

can not tell how much

it means to me.

thank you so much

bitter melon - the one on the wooden stool

looks like grandparents seed with all wrinkles,

morning glory has a different shape as well - this

summer we planted it with children but here -

like a tiny piece of drawing charcoal

from my early childhood

buckwheat porridge was the tastiest for me

but ive neven seen its twigs

narrow poppy boxes were

all over the fabric like a stardust

and vine with heartseeds

i wont wait, right afteri move in few

weeks - i`ll sew it. for now - one is

in the bottle and linen string holds

dimpled japanese glass beads -

black and white

2011-10-23T00:31:00.000-07:00

baby moose rubber stamp i

finally made for my small shop,

i like this animal so much - with its

long legs and big joins, sad eyes,

hump on the back.

hope,you like it.

i took this eraser from

my childhood collection -

2011-10-21T16:53:00.000-07:00

i love it

when the things are

just simple and if you pass

them by its just like nature

simple clear

i made these brass

flowers thinking of

early morning when

the dew is in and dawn

comes with pale light drying it

2011-10-20T15:21:00.000-07:00

thies

and his tame rainbows

everytime i think about the school

i understand how much i`ve learned from

children

2011-10-17T18:51:00.000-07:00

tiny linden box i made for

little treasure,ring or coin.

i put my dad`s grandma`s copper ring inside

and it fits so well there and on my finger

this summer i saw many of these baby mushrooms

still have undone films with them,

and another inspiration - salakauppa

small shop in the heart of helsinki

with its simple nature things

2011-10-09T02:45:00.000-07:00

sea weed house with wooden floors

cracks grass grows right through them

glass roof and all day long movie

about oceans

once again,home

2011-10-02T09:06:00.000-07:00

the swimming pool was right on the hill

and still in the center of the city.bounded

by trees and grass, lots of kids and old couples.

i wish i could live somewhere - when the forest

is just around the corner and busy town`s life

starts in the morning at the same time.

папа сделал красивые сиденья из очень широких,мне не

обхватить,сосен.они как настоящие стоят у нас в доме.но

папа немного снял кору,это не видно.потому что когда делаешь

что-то простое и самое красивое,кажется что ничего и не сделал.

но это самое лучшее.я чувствую это в себе,мне не хватает сейчас

детей очень.

там небольшой цветок прицепился на куртку и обросшие деревья,

когда спускаешься вниз в лес,где начинаются заросли голубики и

костяники,где ходит лось.

ошиблась в своей суете

за этот месяц я вспомнила все мои семь лет,назад.несколько толчков,тогда и сегодня. и я научилась понять, как нельзя держать людей сильно и как жизнь меняется каждую секунду.
ты мне тогда сказал, что люди встречаются и расходятся и уходят.сейчас говоришь, что
это навсегда,мы стобою.и только сейчас я поняла ,что люди расходятся и уходят.перестают понимать, становятся немного дольше, подходят,не могут быть рядом.вся боль в сердце от этого и удар в живот будто тупым тяжелым, только чтобы немного пожалеть себя.правда. не нужно.мне нужно повторять это много себе, чтобы каждый день принимать и иногда держать это как правду.первый раз за пять лет я читаю книги.мой первый сентябрь.когда я не буду работать.у меня на столе старый японский магнитофон японский, с 70 х годов, четыре кассеты визбора,светлый день большой и окна без занавески пока, я здесь только второй раз.книга о птицах, в блокноте нет свободных страниц.толстая березовая доска на столе светлом, белая тряпка чтобы царапин не сделать.нам сломали второй родник, и теперь остался только тот, что слева, к озеру лицом.тропинка узкая, если ведра,то все осыпается внутрь, березы,березы, рябина,сломанный забор,высокая трава

первый раз увижу как лето становится осенью,

сегодня в комнату ко мне залетела бабочка,
дневной павлиний глаз.через балкон прямо в комнату,
к моим коробкам с бусинами.и билась об стекло и я её
перенесла осторожно и выпустила и улетела,
а потом.когда я забыла, она опять прилетела ко мне
в занавески.

i just remember that today
is jannik`s birthday
remember how he came the first day
and took the sharpest pencil, black
and we drew a german flag
and remember how two years ago
he said that he`s so happy that all
my professors from university
are not in the same day as his day.

happy birthday, dear.

and these shoots
were the fastest ones,
we plant almost every day

опустела без тебя земля:
как мне несколько часов прожить?
так же падает в садах листва,
и куда-то все спешат такси:
только пусто на Земле одной
без тебя, а ты:
ты летишь, и тебе
дарят звёзды
свою нежность:

так же пусто было на земле,
и когда летал экзюпери,
так же падала листва в садах,
и придумать не могла земля.
как прожить ей без него, пока
он летал, летал,
и все звёзды ему
отдавали
свою нежность:

опустела без тебя земля:
если можешь, прилетай скорей

the root farm and little journal we started with children.
sahira wrote tiny names on top, she was filling it in every day,
with thies, sasha and julia. small ones were doing the cover.
these days are the best ones. when i can sit with them,
talk, listen, learn.

кто-то ночью утащил лес.
был он вечером, а утром исчез!
не осталось ни пенька, ни куста,
только белая кругом пустота.
где же прячутся птица и зверь?
и куда же за грибами теперь?

let the fox go back to its sandy den.
let the wind die down.
let the shed go black inside.
let evening come.

to the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop
in the oats, to air in the lung
let evening come.
