While reading the Marvell poems and some of the commentary to the posts, I kept coming back to the thought of how modern, how contemporary his words and images and tone. <br /><br />That is the connection I kept feeling and this post completes it - we feel today very much as he felt then and, yes, there is that overwhelming feeling that we are nearing the end now. <br /><br />The signs portend ... whether literally or metaphorically, it really is the same.Issa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-21037329249363615962011-04-30T04:44:34.571-07:002011-04-30T04:44:34.571-07:00Alabama is the Concrete Form of the Human Abstract...<a href="http://tomclarkblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/living-dying-mercy-blake-human-abstract.html" rel="nofollow">Alabama is the Concrete Form of the Human Abstract Everywhere</a>TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-75201121733878417842011-04-30T01:26:05.514-07:002011-04-30T01:26:05.514-07:00Vincent,
Many thanks.
Let that stand as our pray...Vincent,<br /><br />Many thanks.<br /><br />Let that stand as our prayer for the dead and the living.<br /><br />To be pushed by the righteous anger of a justifiably outraged Nature into History is to be pushed out of the Garden and over the Falls.<br /><br />And while this was happening, two billion people round the globe were watching celebrities with funny hats perform in the media theatre aka hallowed cathedral of another dead Empire. Watching on Al Jazeera as the royal darlings smirked their way through the vows to cherish till death do them part in global closeup, my attention wandered to thoughts of stars pulsating and whirling like Van Gogh pinwheels and falling in lightning bolts and swarms of great grey downspouts and funnel chutes through the troubled atmosphere over Alabama.<br /><br />And too I worried the potted ferns had been parked atop the graves in the Poets' Corner.<br /><br />"...many of Marvell's contemporaries believed deeply that the world was drawing to an end."TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-71623068057694467752011-04-29T13:08:58.408-07:002011-04-29T13:08:58.408-07:00.
