Slow Show

Ended up on a poetry buzz for the last few days, which is odd as I never really bothered much with it outside of school. Think I'm gonna have a day soon where I decorate my room by putting these and others up on my wall. I may go down in my family history as possibly the most pretentious of my clan to ever exist but I suppose I can handle it!

He Wishes For The Cloths of Heaven - WB Yeats

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Late Fragment - Raymond Carver
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Acquainted with the Night - Robert Frost
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
O luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.

Fire and Ice - Robert Frost (I really like Frost )
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.


I could go on for ages but that'll do for now. I'll definitely have to get together some of the gems I adored from the LC, in particular 'Elm' and 'Child' by Sylvia Plath (I loved the happy ones clearly :pac:) and 'Antarctica' by Derek Mahon, and hunt for more. Might stick up some song lyrics too now that I think of it. My room's gonna look ridiculous but hey, I just really like words.

Hon stem cells t'fuck!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2013/jul/21/embryonic-stem-cells-sight-blind-retinas

Scientists have shown that light-sensitive retinal cells, grown in the lab from stem cells, can successfully integrate into the eye when implanted into blind mice. The technique opens up the possibility that a similar treatment could help people who have become blind through damage to their retinas to regain some of their sight.

This is unrelated but do you remember some time back you and Jefrey (Rest in Boards) were talking about a poet and he has this really amazing yet I think maybe a 3 line poem, and I can't for the life of me remember the poem or the poet.

I do! It was Late Fragment by Raymond Carver:

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Carver has some really fantastic poems and short stories!

ps. Jefrey plz come back. I miss your music recommendations.

The man had a damn fine taste for music!

This is very cool! Someone strapped a small video camera to an eagle's back so you can see what it's like to fly! Watching it on full screen does sort of make it feel like you're flying.
