Angry sticker #1. Paternoster Row, North Hobart. July 2013. Another one from Ezra! Lament of the Frontier Guard , Ezra Pound By the North Gate, the wind blows full of sand, Lonely from the beginning of time until now! Trees fall, the grass goes yellow with autumn. I climb the towers and towers to watch out the barbarous land: Desolate castle, the sky, the wide desert. There is no wall left to this village. Bones white with a thousand frosts, High heaps, covered with trees and grass; Who brought this to pass? Who has brought the flaming imperial anger? Who has brought the army with drums and with kettle-drums? Barbarous kings. A gracious spring, turned to blood-ravenous autumn, A turmoil of wars-men, spread over the middle kingdom, Three hundred and sixty thousand, And sorrow, sorrow like rain. Sorrow to go, and sorrow, sorrow returning, Desolate, desolate fields, And no children of warfare upon them, No longer the men for offence and defence. Ah,...

Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life.

Letter. East Derwent Highway, Lindisfarne. July 2013. The Moon is Down , John Steinbeck: Wartime propaganda at its best. By all accounts it was quite a success in occupied Europe during WWII. I can see why. The American critics hated it at the time. B- . A Clergyman's Daughter , George Orwell: Perhaps Orwell's most lesser-known work. He apparently left instructions that after his death it was not to be reprinted. After reading it, I can see why. D .

Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?

There is something odd about this sheep.

I feel really ambiguous about the psychology of people trying to do good in the world.

It's always easy heading into work in Winter. East Derwent Highway, Geilston Bay. July 2013. No work for the next two weeks! HOORAH! Let's celebrate with a Q and A. The Wish List Meme, part two 26.)

By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.

A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.

A good stretch Hen, that's what you need.

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
