Array ( [sid] => 117268 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ellegy [time] => 2006-03-29 01:15:56 [hometext] => an inscription on behalf of ALL... and their lonliness.. only those like me need apply- [bodytext] => Beautiful, appalling fanfare
is where we do not falter;

our book of enchantments.

''Hurrah'' for the wonderful work
and for the wonderful body
and for the first time.

It began in the midst of children''s laughter,
with their laughter it will end.
The poison will remain in our veins
even when,
while fanfare turning,
we shall be given back
to the old disharmony.
Now may we,
so worthy of these tortures,
again take up, that superhuman promise
made to our created bodies and souls:

that promise - that madness!

Elegance, science and violence-
They promised to bury in darkness,
the Tree of Good and Evil...
they promised to send away
respectability,
so that we may bring forth
our very pure love!

It began with a certain disgust~
now it ends, unable to instantly grasp this eternity;
the laughter of children;
the dissection of virgins,
the loathing of faces and places
and objects here-

Blessed be, all of you in memory of this vigil.

It began with every sort of crank and criticism.
BEHOLD!! It ends with the blood of angels:
of flame and ice!

...some little amber vigil, holy, if only
because of the masks bestowed upon us!


We pronounce you: "The Way!"
and shall not forget that yesterday
was glorified with each one of our ages-

a pillar of bones, now turned to dust-

We have faith in passion
but know not, how to give
our lives, whole.. everyday.

"We have faith in passion
but know not, how to give

These few lines could be interpreted a number of ways, methinks.
I take from it a solitary sadness and bitter emptiness . . .

A magnificently stirring write, Billy. Always, your writes are filled with many
stimulating, profound and provocative thoughts. I hardly have words to
convey just how it both moves and inspires me. Your brilliant command of
creative thought and your imagintive use with words to express it never ceases
to astound and amaze me.

This piece, is particularily deep, my friend. So much so, that I may have to
read it , oh a couple dozen more times to get the full impact of it all . . . lol ; )

~Breezy
(staggered by the sheer power of this piece-
completely ...
demons . . .angels... who can tell them apart?)

Truer words were never spoken especially that last verse. Yes i hear the echos of your past and not very pretty ones i imagine. As always, expressed with such true accademic nobility. A most beautiful presentation my new england bretheren.
