Cirque D'Hiver: Passage Underground Into A New Year

Blue Is The Grass About The River....

...And she was a courtezan in the old days,
And she has married a sot,
Who now goes drunkenly out
And leaves her too much alone.

[Ezra Pound, Tr. From Mei Sheng (excerpt)]

Les Soeurs Encore Ou: Winckelmann's Revenge

"The office of the imagination, then, in Greek sculpture, in its
handling of divine persons, is thus to condense the impressions of
natural things into human form; to retain that early mystical sense
of water, or wind, or light, in the moulding of eye and brow; to
arrest it, or rather, perhaps, to set it free, there, as human
expression...."

[Walter Pater]

Les Soeurs Feu Et Soleil Escortent La Princesse Neige Au Travers Du Printemps

Les Soeurs Feu Et Soleil Escortent La Princesse Neige Au Travers Du Printemps (09)

With dawn comes a sense of lost space,
to move in
to see through
to laugh again,
fingering with grace
the moist and lurid locks
of sleeping limbs.

How long ago was Mistress Snow?
No one remembers--no one knows.
She is in hiding now, white
tears running down her cheeks
in shame.


The day is wet and grey.
I find lost hours in a stopped clock.
The winter count was light.

Medicine man names a good year.

Chop-Chop: Two Views Of A Radiator With Asymptotic Balls

"Only in one field has the omnipotence of thought been retained in our own civilization, namely in art. In art alone it still happens that man, consumed by his wishes, produces something similar to the gratification of those wishes, and this playing, thanks to artistic illusion, calls forth the effects as if it were something real...."

[Sigmund Freud]
