![]() ![]() We all sat together in our loss, not dwelling, but remembering. Their great secret is that they know everything is a tide-not a black tide, but the natural breath of life-in and out, in and out, and to be with them is to know this too, And here they were, suddenly lifting the weight of our sadness for us, carrying it in the curl of their trunks. ![]() ![]() If they so choose, they have the ability to hold your sadness so you may safely sit in the lonely seat of loss, still hopeful and full of love. They carry stories from generations back, as far as when their ancestors wore fur coats, That is why, when you are close to an elephant, you feel so deeply. They live closer to tree time than we do, and their memories reside in the soul of their species, which dwarfs them in size, is untouchable, and lives on forever to honor every story. An elephant's memories don't reside in organ or skin or bone. MoFos used to say that an elephant never forgets and until this very moment, I hadn't understood what that really meant. It's how they walk with the world's weight on their shoulders, sensitive, noble, their hearts pulsing and as wide open as the great grey leaves that are their ears. Hollow Kingdom is a humorous, big-hearted, and boundlessly beautiful romp through the apocalypse and the world that comes after, where even a cowardly crow can become a hero. But their size is not what makes the heart skip a beat. ![]()

![]() ![]() Instead, they aimed to reveal a correspondence between these two different sensory experiences-as Charles Baudelaire had imagined in poetry-and two different embodiments of the same aesthetic ideal. In these salons, the integration of music went beyond bringing together two previously dissociated artistic events (the concert and the art exhibition). ![]() Along with different esoteric movements of the time, the idealists were the catalyst of salons, which-like the artists who took part in them-aimed to bring together different artistic practices. This was particularly true for idealist artists, a subset of the multifaceted symbolist movement, characterized by their link to late nineteenth-century esoterism and the deep influence of German composer Richard Wagner (1813–83) on their work.
