Re: books, books, books
When asked by W.H. Auden how he liked living in Hull, Larkin replied "I expect I shouldn't be more unhappy there than anywhere else." My favorite poem of his wasn't in any of the volumes he published in his lifetime: Continuing to Live Continuing to live -- that is, repeat A habit formed t...

Re: EC to release Secret, Profane and Sugarcane
What's up with the song credited to Lou Reed on the new album, Femme Fetale? I don't see it anywhere on the new album and yet there's a credit to it in the acknowledgements. "Femme Fatale" is on the vinyl version of Secret, Profane & Sugarcane along with the EC original composition &q...

Ambling down the great road of life, I've discovered that no matter how bad things appear to be, they can always get worse.

Re: Momofuku Poll #2 - Whaddya think?
I find Song with Rose to be the best song on the album and Pardon Me, Madam the weakest so--I agree with both of you!

Re: Momofuku Poll #2 - Whaddya think?
In general I'm loving the hard-edged tracks: 'No Hiding Place' (which is so good I had to play it half a dozen times before listening to the rest of the album!), 'American Gangster Time,' and 'Stella Hurt.' But 'My Three Sons' is achingly beautiful and 'Song with Rose' is a masterpiece--the melody a...

Bamboo, not to belabor the point but your post was interpreted in the same way by intelligent board members from France, Poland, and the United States (a global consensus is forming!). There was a discrepancy between what you wrote and what you intended to write. No hard feelings. The matter rests. ...

Herzog by Saul Bellow. Lively and learned as one would expect but I was disappointed by the denouement. The cuckold character is based on a painful autobiographical story that took great courage to address in print, but Herzog's confrontation with his ex-wife is unsatisfactory and he never gets to ...

Concerning flowers, did you know that roses are mighty ? I mean for real. Some do speak to you. Even call you. Silently but it is so intense, one who gets hit can't ignore. Happened to me not long ago, in the Trocadero garden (on the right bank of the Seine, opposite the Eiffel tower fyi). I couldn...

Surcease: A short story
Through darkened streets I followed my nightly path to the library, arms laden with heavy books to be returned. It is dreadful to face the prospect of crossing the street; there is no dignity in it. Timing is the key—to begin with a fresh green light—but rarely am I graced with such good fortune. Af...
