You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

Yes, its only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me

Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea

Its a barnum and bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldnt be make-believe

My apartment is looking very girlie here. I am thinking that some of her clothes and shoes can be used to decorate my apartment. Those colours really go well with my books.

The ancient Persian Goddess “Aredvi Sura Anahita” the divinity of Water associated with Fertility, Healing, and Wisdom in the universe. She is also associated with War, Protection, and Peace. Anahita means “the immaculate one”.
Sculpture was first created by my grand uncle Jallil Ziopour. He was a Fine Arts university professor, cubist artist, and anthropologist. I think he reproduced the sculpture of Anahita based on his many findings during his excavations in Iran (not too sure which area exactly. ) He gave me that print in person when I was 6 or 7 years old.
The date on the artwork says that it was built about 50 or 60 years ago. ( notice the beautiful Alien shape eyes! )
His reproduction of Anahta was later on destroyed by his first wife over relationship issues. My uncle, being a visual artist, was always surrounded by beautiful women and models, and that didn’t have the best effect on his marriage.
So that small print is perhaps one of the very few original ones left from that amazing art work, and perhaps how Anahita might have looked like.
Also a good indicator that Persians worshiped much better looking gods before the Arabs take over and enforce their ideology on people for the next 1400 years.
