Melancholy in October














A Page from Merisi's Vade Mecum
When the melancholy fit shall fall, *)
Take a time-out at Demel's coffee bar
And let the gray day turn into sepia.

*

Photographed in the
Second District, Leopoldstadt,
and at Demel's, Kohlmarkt,
First District.



*) Line borrowed from John Keats'
"Ode on Melancholy"

  1. Bonjour Merisi...
    En octobre, le froid commence à venir... Les rues deviennent désertes !
    Vivement Noël...
    A plus tard...

  2. You gave me the word melancoly, and I could feel the mood in every photo.

    You are an artist Merisi.

  5. Is that an apfelstrudel I see before my eyes... Ah, let me at it, let me at it. I want to go to Demels - I just know it will wash away any melancholy!
