Women have a playground slide
That wraps you in monsoon and takes you for a ride.
The English girl Louise, his latest squeeze, was being snide.
Easy to deride
The way he stayed alive to stay inside
His women with his puffed-up pride.
The pharmacy supplied
The rising fire truck ladder that the fire did not provide.
The toothless carnivore devoured Viagra and Finasteride
(Which is the one that shrinks the American prostate nationwide
And at a higher dosage grows hair on the bald) to stem the tide.
Not to die had been his way to hide
The fact that he was terrified.
He could not tell them that, it would be suicide.
It would make them even more humidified.
The women wrapped monsoon around him, thunder-thighed.
They guided his acetone to their formaldehyde.
Now Alpha will commit Omegacide.
He made them, like a doctor looking down a throat, open wide,
Say Ah; and 'Ah, ' they sighed;
And out came sighing amplified
To fill a stadium with cyanide.
He filled the women with rodenticide.
He tied
Their wrists behind them, tried
Ball gags in their mouths, and was not satisfied.
The whole room when the dancing stated clapped and cried.
The bomber was the bomb, and many died.
The unshod got their feet back on and ran outside.
The wedding party bled around the dying groom and bride.

Hun skriver vanskelig, jeg kan forstå det, men mener likevel betegnelsen er teit. Slapp av når du leser. Det funker for meg, og det er måten jeg leser alt på. Jeg prøver ikke absolutt å forstå, da får man nemlig problemer. Det synes å være problemet mange har med klassikere: man tror det er en så jævlig til prestasjon og forventer både mye av seg selv og boka, når det egentlig bare er en (veldig) godt skrevet bok. Når jeg leser Woolf driver jeg på en bølge, jeg drømmer meg bort, tripper litt på språket, på samme måte som når jeg skynder meg gjennom poesisamlinger. Jeg hadde ikke fått til det hvis jeg hadde sittet med forstørrelsesglass hele tiden. Jeg slapper av, smaker litt, har det gøy. Praktisk tips: Mrs. Dalloway er kanskje mer tilgjengelig enn To the Lighthouse.

Kierkegaard for øvrig: "Livet kan bare forstås baklengs, men det må leves forlengs." Eller med Helge Høibraaten og Heidegger: Man er kastet med rumpa først inn i livet.

Et dokument over verdenskrigenes uhyggelige forvarsler og langsomme begynnelser, og om vennskapet på tvers av nasjoner som ble kjørt likesom umerkelig i avgrunnen. Jeg leste denne skremt, men av de riktige grunnene - ut av den humanismen som resonnerer i meg selv og som Zweig her ensom gir orde for i et Europa i asker. Svært tankevekkende. Finstemt og flytende prosa. Vid og samtidig dyptpløyende innføring i det 19. århundre, fra et østerriksk sinnelag og blikk man ikke så gjerne ser, som er noe ganske annet enn det typisk tyske.

His father smoked. He watched him.
You still seein that Barnett girl?
He shook his head.
She quit you or did you quit her?
I dont know.
That means she quit you.
Yeah.

What he loved in horses was what he loved in men, the blood and the heat of the blood that ran them. All his reverence and all his fondness and all the leanings of his life were for the ardenthearted and they would always be so and never be otherwise.

This country is without hope. Even its garbage is clean, its trade lubricated, its traffic pacified. The latent, the lacteal, the lethal - life is so liquid, the signs and messages are so liquid, the bodies and the cars are so fluid, the hair so blond, and the soft technologies so luxuriant, that a European dreams of death and murder, of suicide motels, of orgies and cannibalism to counteract the perfection of the ocean, of the light, of that insane ease of life, to counteract the hyperreality of everything here.

Denne helgen skal jeg lese de siste kapitlene i The Haunting of Hill House av Shirley Jackson og Fangirl av Rainbow Rowell.

Hvis det blir tid, og det blir det vel med dette været, kommer jeg også til å begynne på All the Pretty Horses av Cormac McCarthy.

"Fear," the doctor said, "is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. We yield to it or we fight it, but we cannot meet it halfway."

Nothing evokes the end of the world more than a man running straight ahead on a beach, swathed in the sounds of his walkman . . . Primitives, when in despair, would commit suicide by swimming out to sea until they could swim no longer. The jogger commits suicide by running up and down the beach. His eyes are wild, saliva drips from his mouth. Do not stop him.

With grown people, a road led either to heaven or hell, but with children there were always stops along the way where their attention could be turned with a trifle.

She thought the word, Jesus, should be kept inside the church building like other words inside the bedroom. She was a good Christian woman with a large respect for religion, though she did not, of course, believe any of it was true.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

The Haunting of Hill House av Shirley Jackson.

A man who wanted to look better
But not younger is red
Swells of raw.
Later they will remove the staples.

Ten weeks later
They are younger.
They pull over
Their head a sock of skin.
