Lady, lady, should you meet, one whose ways are all discreet, one who murmurs that his wife is the lodestar of his life

I want you to feel the quiet, heart-stopping terror of holding a pen over a brand new, pristine page. The paper is thick, white, and smells faintly of fresh ink and glue. #annotatingbooks #bookaesthetics #bookishlifestyle #booktoktrends #tabbingbooks

Just watched the Prog Prom. Some rum old stuff in there; a surfeit of ELP, some imposters - non-prog era Genesis, & Supertramp (were they ever prog?). But the good stuff (And You And I, Great Gig, Peaches en Regalia) was very good indeed, reminding me how ambitious this stuff was

23 December 1524 - Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris

It was proposed that it might be good to shorten the lessons that are read at Matins on Nativity because through their prolixity they quite often protect the divine service... from 10 o'clock until 4am which causes boredom and diminishes devotion

It is when I read something like this that I realize in the world of writers, I am just a dilettante when it comes to writing - the commitment is there to the words, but the intense understanding of the crafting of a specific arc is lacking.

8 WAYS OF LYING TO A BLACKBIRD

Flying in a green light,
Traced in th✿ shadow
The beauty of inflecti･ﾟ★ns
Even the bawds of euphony
It was snowing
Was the eye of the blackbird.

Xenophobia keeps rhyming: “We have been apt, in the past, to pride ourselves in the ‘melting pot,’ but Theodore Roosevelt once warned: ‘Don't mistake the melting pot for a polyglot boarding house.’ And it becomes clear that for some time past the melting pot has not been working.” SciAm, 1919

gonna read left hand of darkness i think. so far i had to look up phlegmatic, obdurate, pertinacious. also i like the concept of winter doors, ie, a set of doors placed higher on the building, so that one might access them when the regular ones are all snowed in
