Quote on Media →
The futility of everything that comes to us from the media is the inescapable consequence of the absolute inability of that particular stage to remain silent. Music, commercial breaks, news flashes, adverts, news broadcasts, movies, presenters—there is no alternative but to fill the screen; otherwise there would be an irremediable void…. That’s why the slightest technical hitch, the slightest slip on the part of the presenter becomes so exciting, for it reveals the depth of the emptiness squinting out at us through this little window.
Quote of the Day →
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched.
Albert Camus
How Many Winters?
How appropriate,
I thought to myself,
that our ancestors
measured life
and measured age
and the passing
of time
in the number
of winters
that had been
endured.
Only through
the frost
and the freeze
can we truly
fall in love
with the
warmth.
-Tyler Knott Gregson-
Aleister Crowley, from “Pentecost” in The Sword of Song
I find some folks think me (for one)
So great a fool that I disclaim
Indeed Jehovah’s hate for shame
That man to-day should not be weaned
Of worshipping so foul a fiend
In presence of the living Sun,
And yet replace him oiled and clean
By the Egyptian Pantheon,
The same thing by another name.
Thus when of late Egyptian Gods
Evoked ecstatic periods
In verse of mine, you thought I praised
Or worshipped them — I stand amazed.
I merely wished to chant in verse
Some aspects of the Universe,
Summed up these subtle forces finely,
And sang of them (I think divinely)
In name and form; a fault perhaps —
Reviewers are such funny chaps!
I think that ordinary folk,
Though, understood the things I spoke.
For Gods, and devils too, I find
Are merely modes of my own mind!
