Happy Birthday Hector Grey (1 Viewer)

If you like that one, check out The Waste Land. It'll wreck your life for a good few weeks.

Also, see "Rhapsody On A Windy Night" - yet another tasty morsel from modernist poetry's favourite anti-semite:

Hector thats one of my favourite poems, t'was nice to read it

Never heard of that - where can you get it?

Speaking of Irish-actors-doing-something-useful-for-a-change. has anyone heard any of John Cage's "Roaratorio"? It's selections from Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" spoken/sung/chanted by Irish actors. Mesmerising.

That Irish actor, Fiona Allen, did an amazing version of the Waste Land.

The Waste Land is incredible.

Of course, TS Eliot pales in comparison to the works of D. Higgins: The Irish Hemmingway.

I heard that Higgins fella would be good if he didn't spend so much time on the internet

I like this poem:

In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.

Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art

Litlining

On Monday I borrowed Robert Frost's "Collected Poems" from the Ilac library. On Tuesday I had it pulped at a lumber store on Thomas Street. Last night night I added a dash of Smithwicks to the pulp, left it to stand for an hour, then liquefied the lot in me Magimix.

Tonight, I'll be injecting "A Boy's Will", "North of Boston", "Mountain Interval" and some early juvenilia. I can't find any veins in my arms any more so I'll be using the side of my neck.

Literature, anyone?
