The Touch That Topples Man and Rock. March 16, 2012. Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak. 8212; August Strindberg, A Dream Play. Yet with petty misery. At heart, a petty misery,. Ever the prelude to your end,. The touch that topples man and rock. 8212; Wallace Stevens, The Man With The Blue Guitar (1937). When Inez came downstairs at 3 AM to find me sobbing uncontrollably and incapable of explaining ...

I Listen To Money Singing |

https://politelyhomicidal.wordpress.com/2011/12/17/i-listen-to-money-singing

I Listen To Money Singing. December 17, 2011. I listen to money singing. It’s like looking down. From long french windows at a provincial town,. The slums, the canal, the churches ornate and mad. In the evening sun. It is intensely sad. Thinking about the insanity of Capitalism as it stands today is enough to drive you, gibbering and tearing out your hair, into an early grave. The whole set-up verges on the surreal. Verges? What am I saying? Faced with the same task today, I suspect that even Miller, a h...

Joseph William Frazier: Bloodied But Unbowed |

https://politelyhomicidal.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/joseph-william-joe-frazier-bloodied-but-unbowed

Joseph William Frazier: Bloodied But Unbowed. November 8, 2011. It’s a pointless speculation, but it might be interesting to wonder just where Joe Frazier would be today without those little run-ins with Muhammad Ali. Well, he’d probably be alive, for one thing. That’s a good theory for starters. They were not heavyweight title fights so much as near-death experiences, a brutally choreographed and lightly regulated self-destruction, their pride and ambition so inflamed that survival was no longer part of...
