Actually blogging . . .

Caveat Lecteur

"May it please heaven that the reader, emboldened, and become momentarily as fierce as what [s/he] reads, find without loss of bearings a wild and abrupt way across the desolate swamps of these sombre, poison-filled [posts]. For unless [s/he] bring to [the] reading a rigorous logic and mental application at least tough enough to balance . . . distrust, the deadly issues of this [blog] will lap up [one's] soul as water does sugar. It would not be good for everyone to read the [posts] that follow; only the few may relish this bitter fruit without danger. So, timid soul, before further penetration of such unchartered steppes, retrace your steps, do not advance."

With sincerest apolgies to the good Count . . .

Consilience

The flit and flutter
Of a butterfly's wing
Will make one man cry,
One man sing;
One will feel the
easy breeze,
One will fail with fever
and sting.
Such is the plaint
and the folly
Of believing
in the Causality
Of the flit and flutter
Of A butterfly's wing . . .

The aesthetic of silence . . .

So far I've populated this blog with the sagacious comments of other writers - sporadically at that - meant to inspire and motivate. As you can tell, they've done neither. But one of my guiding principles as a writer is: if you've got nothing to say, it doesn't matter how well you know how to say it . . . what does that say about me? Or about you?

World Gone Nouche: Testing

"If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know."
- Thomas Wolfe
from The Web And The Rock

"Be regular and ordinary in your life like a good burgeoise, so you can be violent and original in your work."
- Gustave Flaubert
