“Should you offer? After all, if she likes the offer, she might start to play. No strings attached”. A 1967 Tiparello ad.

Ridiculous vintage ad.

I’m sorry, Zagreus, but it’s been a long time since I talked about certain things. So I don’t know any more—-or I’m not sure. When I look at my life and its secret colors, I feel like bursting into tears. Like that sky. It’s rain and sun both, noon and midnight. You know, Zagreus, I think of the lips I’ve kissed, and the wretched child I was, and of the madness of life and the ambition that sometimes carries me away. I’m all these things at once. I’m sure there are times you wouldn’t even recognize me. Extreme in misery, excessive in happiness—-I can’t say it.

“

Certain small, ugly creatures are considered adorable and cute. Take, for example, the baby orangutan pictured on the poster that decorates the garage wall. Nothing about this animal is pretty to look at but he doesn’t seem to care one way or the other. When an orangutan catches his reflection in a pool of crystal-clear water he doesn’t take the time to get depressed about his looks. Instead he just goes about his business, eating leaves and examining the heads of his friends and family, searching for mouthwatering fleas. A creature is cute as long as it has mournful eyes and lives in the woods. An ugly person can’t be carefree like animals. From what I’ve seen on television, animals mate without regard to who has a glossier coat or the longest whiskers. I don’t get the idea that apes turn down dates. They might talk but I doubt anyone’s feelings get hurt in the process. I could be wrong because I am not a scientist.

Shaving the Graveyard

The graveyard being what he called his face;
even as a young man
he called his face the graveyard—he talked
like that, funny, odd
things that scared me sometimes…

Dali Atomicus by Philippe Halsman - 1948

You could do this in photoshop now easily but Halsman did not - this was shot live! It took 26 tries to get it over five hours - Halsman counted to four, Dali leapt, 3 assistants threw the cats, one threw the water from a bucket and Halsman’s wife held the chair. Its all done in the camera.

My late Uncle Sal once met Dali in a bar in Manhattan. Dali was carving something at the bar and my uncle said, “Hey, do you know we have the same name?” My uncle and Dali drank together and Dali finished his carving. He handed it to my uncle to keep. It was a palm-sized cross.

“I look at the people queuing at the till, and I wonder are they going home, or are they going far away from the people they love. There are no other journeys. And I think we make for peculiar refugees, running from our own blood, or towards our own blood; pulsing back and forth along ghostly veins that wrap the world in a skein of blood. This is what I am thinking…I am thinking about the world wrapped in blood, as a ball of string is wrapped in its own string. That if I just follow the line I will find out what it is that I want to know.”

From where had these feelings come? Walter thought. For he had not swallowed anything created by her body; neither had there been any physical contact, not even the brushing of sleeves in a crowded market. So these feelings for her—like fires lit in various parts of his body—must always have been within him, waiting to be lit.

And then Walter thought of something else. Could it be that first love was the only true love? And that after those first fires had been doused or burned out, men and women chose whom they would love based on worldly needs, and then reenacted the rituals and feelings of that first pure experience—nursed the flames that once burned of their own accord…

I could see only the outline
of your head and shoulders,
black against the cave mouth,
and so could not see your face
at all, when you turned

and called to me because you had
already lost me. the last
I saw of you was a dark oval.
Though I knew how this failure would hurt you, I had to
fold like a grey moth and let go.

You could not believe I was more than your echo.

“It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he’s handsome, Nelly, but because he’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton’s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.”
