of towns and facts of history tabulating its chronicle as proper to its station in the rising decay
of time's dong dong cock a doddle ding and the downgrading of its outline and she raised it to
the roof risible to the decibel of its larder and the laughter of the love come applauding to greet her

Vivaldi Winter

Winter Concert - Norway Mari Samuelsen - Violin





Trondheimsoloists



---------------------------------------------------------------------- This version of Vivaldi's Winter is the emotional and astonishing thing I have heard, ever? perhaps ever is too big a word but it threw me right around, tears, gnashing of the teeth , swirls, Ups DOwns __ the whole thing indescribable .. it would take me nights to do so and I don't have time right to describe it ... when did I ever have time ? time to write to breath? to love __________________

'Materiality'

_____________________

the materiality  and non materiality of blogs is what I think of/ ponder consider
 am glad of and frustrated about

 without being slight or silly or light in a  way frivolous

it's akin to  the not dissimilar materiality and non materiality of the body

  and the question, or one of the big ones  anyhow, at the heart of human consciousness


is the body's life      ~    and matter ,,  resurrection    it's the question arrayed behind every human fear it's there in  all the poetry, a ll the religions    all philLoCopSophy!

does the body died and when it does rather do we die with it? is the end of our being  physically the end of us ?  do we move into another plane


Another plane   __  the air-plane of consciousness and its green wish



  more soon   from the conscious being on his way out the door the winter night

   fogging in the bringing     

  the ringing

 christmas cards?  toboggan  sleigh bells

  horse  smell pulling the carriage up to st joseph

hour

.


  that  link's  become your denote 

  time passes changes the sturdy one
and regains passage with mighty alacrity greed
knocking back a dozen or so

women waitresses gather like 'Canada' geese 
  remembering their preternatural youth and love's loyoalty  through body thick and thin

   fairhead to the visible  its ancient dead
tiring by the invisible dare to metamorphosed  'content ' as the redundant dissonant form of  a sound

 Or say as a body in poor
and the pore you always have with you being to the hole that's wax in the fun that rose
clarion  bell between two knees guarding by the delphic angel fox 

   and the connotation working its flight guess

  this love holding her breast beyond a mouth transcendence my love totalizing all foregone and lame
concluding but not precluding the possible wearing odd socks and bent backs each lover knows this
and you are breath as the wind swept past her blonde leg tawny in the back breaking sun hung by the

lantern which only seals get up to watch as the sun pulling its weight each day undertakes
  there are no accidents  but provincial  debts pay our taxes to the rich

the king and mighty kingdoms of god transcendy our betting day




the often only hour


ii









  and one dyed her hair red   
   and another 'upgraded it '  blonde as   the sun    is that what we say?
                                    (a lover too hard on herself )
    (the first thinking red dyed hair'd take the 'weight off her feet')  
        rays shining off the iridescent sun

    but hope was material wealth to all three 
               (the one I didn't name)
disciplined like the    biting word 
   transduced by the coming of the   lord



.


.




















.
.

 I've always felt the call of your love 
   even though the water washed it back
  waves rolling into the tide and
   if that it humbled  the ride then
  I was not afraid to say I love you 


at the birth of water and sound 
 these tracks heard a word flying
  'maybe I'm too healthy' and  me   ' you're too hard
on yourself remember it was a kid that felt
what you did '   and she 'O    ' pause and her beauty felt the way

on the other hand

------------


On the other hand it's just possible possible likely?  that some of the plays  (Shakeyshakes) were done in 

slow motion? what is speed anyhow? someone once said you could be late by speed? going so fast you miss   miss   miss                         miss                   miss                         miss         

your stop! that's too quick to be on time..... and Imagine the accent incomprehensible high speed or 

over-slow  gibberish. like the old  33 and a half records..... 

      recording reproducing     .... creating making   'in' the new medium which is a place of creatin'

re: 'The Accidental Archivist: Criticism on Facebook, and How to Preserve It



 This is fine  (and dandy)  where there is a conversation to 'archive' if archive one  wants to do. but where is there a conversation?    ___



a conversation hardly exists  anywhere   (and certainly in fb there is a flattening out of any such  event .... )/hence 





  would one expect it to be different in a media that billions 'use' daily hourly? billions pressing billions of buttons going like like like like like like like ad infinitum .





however, the work continues| but in my view at least those artists, especially those that speak and write in languages in which they are able to understand one another,  are responsible for the failure of conversation to begin and continue



as one of the responsibilities of the artist is the teaching faculty



 to promote discussion among people, 'the' people 'the' populace...



those who think otherwise are simply promoting silence and the end of discourse

re: .. since

.

: .. since 

  Ted   Hughes wrote that in Shakespeare's days the plays were performed at high speed and the language spoken very fast... which explains a  lot   ...
Shakeapearean performances had to be fast ... too much to absorb so the speed got it out there and across and later the printed plays  added 'weight'  as it were to what had been performed  so dangerously....

  dangerous you ask?   well, the theatre back in those days was  a messy place wasn't it? not like the 'centaur' theatre back in Montreal and even the cute little 'fringe'   theatres.... the best theatre is  where you least expect to find it... and  on film..  because at least in film they can control their milieu  in theatre that's not possible ...  live theatre ought to be a place where control is the goal but as  a means to producing a real dirty theatre, a piece of live booty (my bootless cries to heaven..  out out brief candle  ... these our actors as i foretold you .... )  alive   alive on the stage gesticulating and howling   then crying the lowest whisper of perfect intelligent lines intelligence as beauty.....
----------------------

 and no one doing good theatre thinks about sW's intentions they're long gone....

 O sweet Jesus lest I be accused of being a jackass , which would only prove the true hope of any writer to be abused by his fellowship of readers (so called) I have not forgotten the great

Orson Welles film versions of Shakespeare. All of which were notoriously  equal to the task at hand,__
to wit,___ creator to creator.

Unlike certain recently deceased American writers who tried to equal their betters only revealing thereby their inferority and rancour before superior talent. ! what! speaks here a ghost of grandeur and rank? O that ranky panky!



One writer, who was a popular figure of  the so-called beat generation    exemplifies the worst of resentment and hatred for anything that's great and beyond his scope....


We won't name him! lest his soul perish in the flamy letters he left behind!

.. since

--------------


there's prb. been no  version of Shakespeare done in English, with the British language that's equal to  its work since the 19 th. c.


    there might  be on the other hand hundreds of unknown and  exciting  ones done outside of the sphere of the official and schooled interpretations.


  a few years ago  M. told me about a punk version of Macbeth that'd had been done in New York... that sounded amazing.  I think Lady Macbeth had pink punk hair and her  .. more

but the ones produced a t the official level even the so called great film versions esp. those in britian are awful



 Peter Brook is not included here his version of King Lear is astonishing and no less than visionary.



  Carmelo Bene's Italan film versions, at least the ones that I've seen  are beyond anything that Stratford or those type of places can imagine

 
Polanski's Macbeth was good     Akira Kurosawa   ... what I have seen is visionary but I have not seen a complete film....  .. I think the contemporary educated British accent  no matter how hard they try, just kills Shakespeare and makes a  mockery of it..


 so for god's sake read the books for yourself with your voice and in your own accent 

that is it's easy to mock when hearing... I find myself mocking  some of the greatest lines ever if I hear these type of interpretations....

 That horrible long Hamlet with pompous Branag was almost great but he killed the soliloquy with his stupid music.. it ruined the film

   a great artist cannot make mistakes of that sort    I 'd never want to have to go through that again.. I wanted to shout out

and its been a few years and I've still not forgotten how horrible it was : I wante d to shout

Shut the bloody garbage music of  f please .

I learned a lot from watching that film    how music can betray and steal from words... I learned a lot about the underhanded way in which the best music can stab the words it purports to carry forth and assist......

                      I don't blame music! I blame the cretins who try to use it that way.



  And as for Milton, well what can one say about his poetry? in terms of accent and interpretation. its a  pathetic and suspect and dead paltry sad thing

when words that strong are reduced to the 100,000 bad readings of them given everyday.

Better that texts are silent than be heard   that way.


 ___ In sum for this is a quick sum , a quick accounting of JM and WS the two friends who were two sides of the same coin,

Don't ruin them with the English British    __ find your own way of reading and performing them.

  the everyday British are not stupid people they know that Shakespeare and Milton's best left to them and their gifts, their talents and genius and not to that class which keeps down all great talent.
