Is April the Cruellest Month in Australia Too?

[serge gurkski]

Ok, but I think, that Eliot wrote this line because April is a promessa de vida no teu coração* (a promise of life in/to your heart) to which -don't stone me Leanne for quoting Sylvia - Plath replies so:
"Again we are deluded and infer
that somehow we are younger than we were.**


* http://letras.mus.br/tom-jobim/49022/
* quoting from her April Abaude which I had the pleasure to translate. ;--) (into German:

look here:

Plath :

April Aubade

Worship this world of watercolor mood
in glass pagodas hung with veils of green
where diamonds jangle hymns within the blood
and sap ascends the steeple of the vein.

A saintly sparrow jargons madrigals
to waken dreamers in the milky dawn,
while tulips bow like a college of cardinals
before that papal paragon, the sun.

Christened in a spindrift of snowdrop stars,
where on pink-fluted feet the pigeons pass
and jonquils sprout like solomon's metaphors,
my love and I go garlanded with grass.

Again we are deluded and infer
that somehow we are younger than we were."

tongue in cheek (or as Tom Tec prefers to put it: linguam in maxillam)

I just mock postmodernist slang here by telling you that all the texts I quoted have a kinkygroovy threesome.

I made a poem three years ago called, I've Always Wanted To Die In Spring. It's saved on the laptop that I threw through the wall, also three years ago. But I can still hook it up to another monitor, and get stuff out of it. I wrote it in fall though, while I was abusing expired lithium. I didn't abuse them, I just ate them like peanuts for a few days. Who wants to be on lithium?

[justcloudy]

I was born in the spring, and I'm with you Rowens, it'd be nice to die in the spring too.
so far April in Morocco has been rain rain rain and falling temps. boo. and last 2 years much of the same.
back when I was in the US April always promised to be lovely but usually wasn't.
yet I still generally think of April as a nice month... silly silly me.

[rowens]

Yeah well, you're married. In spring I get as mad as a march hare.

---

Madder than a march hare. I have greater body mass, and can do more harm.

[justcloudy]

hehehehe. well there are /some/ benefits to marriage anyway ;D

[rowens]

I believe in monogamy, but it's been forever denied me. Can't tell if I'm unlucky or lucky.

I guess it's not a good idea to get engaged to a girl that already has a boyfriend. But she still has the ring.

oh wait!

lithium sux

[Regn]

Who wants to be on lithium?

The aftermath of having consumed Lithium is the same aftermath as having searched for a vagina in the dark; any joy which you might previously have gotten from the experience is sedated to a point where you go: "Forget it, I'm going to sleep." This is why you never take Lithium, or in other words, always keep the lights on.

[rowens]

The girl I'm engaged to, she told me she would do anything if I refused the Lithium. But she disappeared anyway. So three years ago, I found my old prescription and ate a bunch while I was watching Fringe. And the days before too. They were stale.

See, row, I think Lithium -besides being a wicked bitch-; it does not do anything for me and as far as shrinks prescribing anti-depressants are concerned, one of those asses almost killed me bc of the fact that the two kinds of pills said arsehole prescibed, did not like each other at all. To break it down to you: swallowin simultaneously (prozac and kava kava). t almost was lethally (for me!) While they had sex with each other, they wrongly assumed that my body was Cambodian killing fields.

they were wrong, but it was close. but I won

[serge gurkski]

"April is the cruelest month,"

to sum it up in a nutshell

Betcha didn think I knew how to Rock'n Roll ?

lemme prove you wrong . ,-)

My spelling is the same as in my copy of the poem, and in the copy in the library.

And the Gaddis books have been put down as "lost" in the library. All but A Frolic of His Own.

[serge gurkski]

hm? strange.

Gaddis is really not bad

[rowens]

In the library, "lost" means either, "stolen or lost by someone that checked it out and never returned it", or "apparent expired interest, so taken off the shelf to make room for more Baldacci and King."

I read the book, Your Invitation to a Modest Breakfast. And though I can't read long without being drunk these days, Ms. (I hope, Miss) Gamble has a very endearing look in her eyes. Leanne's advice was to introduce myself in verse. You think my poem about the girl masturbating with the Wii controller is respectable enough; or maybe I should pull out my Jim Bishop joint?

[serge gurkski]

so i have seen both: cruellest AND cruelest

must have been a case of bad copy-editing:

look

[Leanne]

Cruellest is correct in all but American English. I think Americans must consider a double-l too close to blasphemy.

[serge gurkski]

hi leanne,
funy thing is , I myself thought: cruellest is correct. If both are ok then i will not declare to the anglophone world. ;-)))

Now that I am a bit less drunk/en, I think I confused Eliot with Pound re imagism. Well, that was to be expected: Since when would I leave out a chance to totally mess it up? See, it is really hard for me to myself seriously? ;-)))

[rowens]

I guess there's no romance advice here, and I'm on my own with selecting seductive poems for Hannah Gamble next time I'm in Illinois.

She's an abstract cruel,
