the best of wives is fresh air
We were so lucky to have some rain yesterday, first a scattering in the early afternoon, which returned with increased seriousness around 530 pm, while I was getting a hair cut. I could see the rain in the long mirror reflecting the street behind me. It was falling on the cobblestones and between the rails of the tram tracks and my annoyance at the hair cutter who kept me waiting 45 minutes dissol

“The written word, obviously, is very inward, and when we're reading, we're thinking. It's a sort of spiritual, meditative activity. When we're looking at visual objects, I think our eyes are obviously directed outward, so there's not as much reflective time. And it's the reflectiveness and the spiritual inwardness about reading that appeals to me.”

OK, Sarah, I've got my Moby pic up and ready for sail come late October (note look of fear and loathing).
So far she's been clever enough to stay away from it. It is a bane of a word. It kills entire sentences.I've been loving your selections for the PotD, btw.
Loved your poem "from train 21," posted on your blog, Sarah. The seemingly contradictory tone / pace of headlong rush and reflection is quite effective.It also makes me think of Pound's "In a Station of the Meto" -- The apparition of these faces in the crowd; / Petals on a wet black bough.
Salut S! Good to see you here and be GR buds!-shanti *t
Just wanted to stop in and wish you the best of the holiday season! Merry Christmas!-NoranHammond,IN :)
Hi Brooklyn,I recommend "The Bell" above all. Thanks for asking. I would like to read it again. I also loved "The Sea, The Sea." "A Word Child" would be third in line.... maybe tied with "The Sacred and Profane Love Machine."

love the addition of the stephen wright quote: he's some kind of low-key genius, no?
