John Ashbery - Spring Day

The immense hope, and forbearance
Trailing out of night, to sidewalks of the day
Like air breathed into a paper city, exhaled
As night returns bringing doubts
That swarm around the sleepers head

Installs again in cold hope
The air that was yesterday, is what you are,
In so many phases the head slips form the hand.
The tears ride freely, laughs or sobs:
What do they matter? There is free giving and taking;
The giant body relaxed as thou...

Sobre o novo do Julian Barnes, Shostakovich, novas maneiras de ouvir música, a lentidão e títulos longos.

the noise of time.jpg

Li o novo do Julian Barnes, "The Noise Of Time", cuja personagem central éDmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich, o compositor. Aconselho vivamente: a personagem, o contexto histórico, a arte, a música, tudo é interessante. E a escrita de Barnes faz a tudo grande justiça.

Ando também a ler "Every Song Ever: Twenty Ways to Listen in an Age of Musical Plenty" de Ben Ratliff. E como acontece, nestas coisas, os dois ligam-se, para já, pelo Quarteto de Cordas No. 15 do compositor russo.

Virginia and Vita

From Sackville-West to Woolf

Milan [posted in Trieste]
Thursday, January 21, 1926

I am reduced to a thing that wants Virginia. I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone: I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. You, with all your un-dumb letters, would never write so elementary phrase as that; perhaps you wouldn’t even feel it. And yet I believe you’ll be sensible of a little gap. But you’d clothe it in so exquisite...

ANOHNI - Drone Bomb Me

'Drone Bomb Me' is the beautiful yet brutal second single from HOPELESSNESS. As described by ANOHNI, “’Drone Bomb Me’ is a love song written from the perspective of a young girl in Afghanistan whose family has been executed by unmanned U.S. drones. She dreams of being annihilated.” The powerful video for “Drone Bomb Me” is directed by Nail and features an astonishing performance by Naomi Campbell. Directed by Nabil, art directed and styled by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy.
