Funambule et Féeries: Trash or Treasure?

Préambule

Bienvenue dans mon univers irrationel et poétique – le monde et les pensées d'une jeune femme perdue quelque part entre ses rêves et la réalité. Comme une funambule, je tâche de marcher bien droit, mais ce n'est pas sans perdre l'équilibre que j'avance sur les chemins de la vie.

A funambule–funambulist in english–is a tightrope walker and féerie means a kind of wonderland, defined in french as an "irrational and poetic universe" Like a funambulist, I attempt to walk on the thin line between reality and dreams, reationality and nonsense, reason and passion, and it is not without losing my balance that I make my way into the world.

That which is stone to the
ordinary man is a pearl
to him who knows

–Rumi

One man's trivia is another man's wisdom

–Dr Vincent Nigel-Murray (Bones, Season 4, episode 12)

All English word definitions come from the Oxford English Dictionary, unless otherwise cited, and the French definitions are from Le Grand Robert de la langue française.
I realize that most of the pictures I post as inspiration are provenience-less. Please let me know if you have a problem with any of them and they will be removed.
When posting book quotations, I like to use the date in which the work was completed, or first published, to place it in a historical timeline, but the page numbers will come from the edition of the book that I have on hand.
