Described as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, the island Ceylon was conquered by the English in 1796 and for many years was at the center of the spice and trade routes. Rich in ivory, cinnamon, coffee, tea, gems, and pearls the island became increasingly accessible during the nineteenth century. Its exotic scenery was well documented by commercial photographers throughout the nineteenth century.

One of the most accomplished and successful photographic firms working in Ceylon was Scowen and Co. Scowen and his team produced records for the tourist market, as well as for commerce and industry. These documents included images of plantation economies, railroad, native people, architectural city views, and ancient ruins. The photographs are of superior quality, representing the rich beauty and detail found only in an albumen print.

Scowen's photographs are represented in the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Yale University Art Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.

Charles Scowen produced an incredible number of photographs of Ceylon, landscapes, people and events. Between W.L.H. Skeen and Charles Scowen they covered every part Ceylon. Scowen arrived in Ceylon in 1873 employed as an assistant to R. Edley a Commission Agent. It would appear that his love of the beauty of Ceylon lured him away from this job to become a photographer and he opened his first studio in Kandy in 1876. Nothing is known of his past experience in photography, but it is very obvious that he was a first rate photographer with a good eye for detail. By 1885 he had studios in Colombo and Kandy. During the mid 1890s, the entire stock of Scowen negatives was acquired by Colombo Apothecaries Co.

Charles T. Scowen was a British photographer during the nineteenth century. He was active as a photographer from 1870–1890, working in Sri Lanka, India in the early 1870s. By 1876 Scowen had established a studio, Scowen & Co in Kandy and by the 1890s, he had opened a second in Colombo. His work, which included landscapes and portraits of Malay women, is noted for its lighting, technically superior printing, and strong compositional qualities.

Poetry: E. E. Cummings - next to of course god america i... (III) - as freedom is a breakfastfood - Links to more of his poems

next to of course god america i... (III)

"next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"

He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water  

 as freedom is a breakfastfood

as freedom is a breakfastfood
or truth can live with right and wrong
or molehills are from mountains made
-long enough and just so long
will being pay the rent of seem
and genius please the talentgang
and water most encourage flame

as hatracks into peachtrees grow
or hopes dance best on bald men's hair
and every finger is a toe
and any courage is a fear
-long enough and just so long
will the impure think all things pure
and hornets wail by children stung

or as the seeing are the blind
and robins never welcome spring
nor flatfolk prove their world is round
nor dingsters die at break of dong
and common's rare and millstones float
-long enough and just so long
tomorrow will not be too late

worms are the words but joy's the voice
down shall go which and up come who
breasts will be breasts and thighs will be thighs
deeds cannot dream what dreams can do
-time is a tree (this life one leaf)
but love is the sky and i am for you
just so long and long enough

Poesia: Catulo - Poemas a Lesbia – Carmen 7 y 8 - Bio Links

CARMEN VII

Me preguntas, cuántos besos tuyos,
Lesbia, me serían más que suficientes,
Cuan gran el número de arena de Libia
yace en Cirene, de laserpicio plena,
entre el oráculo del ardiente Júpiter
y el túmulo del anciano Bato;
o cuantos astros, al callar la noche,
ven los amores ocultos de los hombres;
sólo esos besos satisfarán
a Catulo el loco más que suficientemente,
que ni contarlos podrán los curiosos
ni con sus malas lenguas hechizarlos

CARMEN VIII

¡Ay, Catulo, deja de hacer simplezas,
y ten lo que está muerto por perdido!
Radiantes soles te brillaban cuando,
en esos días, ibas
allí donde quería la joven,
amada por nosotros como nadie
será amada jamás.
Muchas fiestas celebraste allí entonces,
que tú deseabas y ella no odiaba.
En verdad, lucían soles radiantes.
Ella ya no lo quiere,
no lo quieras tú, débil,
ni persigas a la que huye, ni vivas
miserable: resiste
con tu mente obstinada.
Adiós, muchacha. Catulo aguanta ya,
no te rogará ni pedirá nada.
Mas sufrirás, cuando por nadie seas
rogada. ¡Ay, infame! ¿Qué vida te queda?
¿Quién irá a ti hoy? ¿Quién verá tu belleza?
¿A quién amarás ahora? ¿De quién
se dirá que eres? ¿A quién besarás?
¿A quién morderás los delgados labios?
Pero, ¡tú, Catulo, aguanta firme!
