Beneath the Wheel by Herman Hesse

It’s sort of the inverse of Siddhartha – the actual story of Hesse’s life (fictionalized, of course), according to some note at the beginning of the book. It’s not so easy being a snobby Black Forest intellectual adol

Maybe Shakespeare’s wrong: all’s NOT well that ends well.

This play, for example. The ending is happy, but fails to resolve all the bad shit that happened in the first four acts. Maybe Helen made the first mistake: choosing the cutest guy in the court

My friend C. offered me this volume – so old that there is no copyright date. The book, which had been extensively chewed by mice, at first seemed to be advice about running a girls school. On closer examination, it proved to be perverse Victorian sp ...more

Like a skilled gymnast climbing a rock wall blindfolded, Greg finds toeholds, handholds, kneeholds, heelholds, as he clambers up the poem-wall.

Opening at random:

Matsuo Bashō
“When composing a verse let there not be a hair's breath separating your mind from what you write; composition of a poem must be done in an instant, like a woodcutter felling a huge tree or a swordsman leaping at a dangerous enemy.”
Bashō

“The stupidity of gossips is that they become frightened when they see your face, and a little word from your mouth makes them vibrate like an electrocuted criminal.”

“Sometimes I get the feeling the whole world is against me, but deep down I know that's not true. Some smaller countries are neutral. ”

message 7: by Mirra

Mirra Price Namaskar,

I heard you bought one of Dada and my books, Tools to Change the World. Could you please review it for Goodreads? Amazon would be great, too, if you can.

Sisterly,

Miirabaii


Sparrow . Thank you. No, I don't think you ever sent me a photo. I would like to see it!


Joanne Licardo I love that picture of you. I just enlarged it so I could see what was going on. I have a great picture of you from the workshop in NC. Did I ever send you one?


Joanne Licardo Hi Sparrow. Nice to see you again. Do you have a rubber duckie?


message 3: by Diana

Diana I also hope you're having a good day. But I must ask, why no picture? Maybe after the teeth are brushed you'll put one up? Or perhaps that's just my useless optimism, rearing it's pointless little head...


Sparrow . thank you. The day is getting rather advanced -- time to work on my tooth brushing, really. But I get a little obsessed with late-night e-mailing. I hope your day is, or was, flagrantly happy.


Bradley I hope you are having a good day! =)
