It was but "yesterday" we met in a dream.
You have sung to me in my loneliness,
and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky.
But now our sleep has fled
and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn.
If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more,
we shall speak again together
and you shall sing to me a deeper song.
And if our hands should meet in another dream,
we shall build another tower in the sky.
Based on The Farewell ... Khalil Gibran
"Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns.
I am thankful that thorns have roses."
Du tust recht, armer alter Mann!
Lerne bei Zeit noch verlieren.
[Schiller, Kabale und Liebe]
Thou dost well, wretched old man!
Learn betimes to lose.
[Schiller, Intrigue and Love]
Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep,
He hath awaken'd from the dream of life;
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings. We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay
[Percy Bysshe Shelley]
Knowing that there are interrelationships between aperture and depth,
between exposure time and shake,
between film/sensor sensitivity and grain/noise
are basic knowledge afaik?
Of course, the focal length and its influence on the depth of the field are not to be overlooked.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.
But today is a gift! That is why it is called present."
