we never

Wed Oct 28, 2009, 11:25 AM


realize the totality of our existence, our life, our moment. if we were to stop down and consider the way in which we spent a single day of our gift of manifest materiality, then i think we might actually know regret; even if it would just be remorse over our inability to appreciate our finest moments, not to mention our lack of understanding the consequences of our natural disasters.

*


so far, from the Plath poems, i like "Elm" the best. this caught me:

Love is a shadow.
How you lie and cry after it
Listen: these are its hooves: it has gone off, like a horse.


*


there is much to be learned
from misery
so call me a sage, naught
to be pitied.

You now see Giovanni Baglione in context.

Thank you for your kind words and your fave on Scenes From Merisi's Career.

I greatly appreciate your support and encouragement.

Thank you, Shane, for collecting Giovanni Baglione Speaks Out. I'm very pleased you liked it.

(I have just started work on another episode of intrigue, this time in nineteenth century London. I hope to post something before too long.)
