The moonlight on the desert
is a truly wondrous thing
it makes the sand as golden
as the coffer of a king,
though scorpions still sting.
Across the dunes that glistened
rode an agent of the dark
determined to deliver
a swift and silent arc
to a duly sanctioned mark.
No glimmer of compassion
helped to soften his […]

Emily Dickinson, the philosopher of Closed Space, meets Samuel Beckett, the muse of entropic amnesia
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Ted Burke Blog
An Emily Dickinson poem, No.443, has the cloistered poet speaking elliptically, mysteriously about her duty to her small labors and benign daily obligations in the wake of a personal catastrophe; her resolve to stick to her routine with an even greater conviction is an extraordinary will to […]

Simple

[?]Submitted by Akphilately Blog
In these days of the more elaborate the better, it is sometimes soothing to the nerves to look back at earlier stamp designs and enjoy their simplicity and therefore effectiveness. That’s what I felt when I got these Australian booklet panes.
They were the start of a reasonably long […]

A massacre forgotten and then relived
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Denerstein Unleashed
Judging by the Israeli film, “Waltz With Bashir,” the 1982 massacre at the Shabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon provided many Israeli soldiers with Vietnam-like experiences – flashbacks, guilt, and, in some cases, the obliteration of memory. Working in an often-eerie animated style, director Ari Folman makes […]
A horror remake that works
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Denerstein Unleashed
“The Uninvited” arrives on screen pulling a carload of familiar horror ingredients into view: an evil stepmother, an author father who’s blinded to her conniving ways, and two sisters who want to uncover the truth about their stepmom. Add lots of creepy atmospherics, and it all sounds depressingly […]

LIAM NEESON GETS TOUGH
I’d been looking forward to “Taken,” mostly because Liam Neeson always has the capacity to be interesting. Playing a character who’s as focused as a heat-seeking missile, Neeson doesn’t disappoint, but the same can’t be said about a thriller in which Neeson’s Bryan Mills — […]

Why the Peripheral Canal Will Happen
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Aguanomics Blog
The simple answer is that politicians want it to happen — no matter what the economists say. (The fact that some economists also support the PC is practically irrelevant; notice how Schwarzenegger is pushing for the PC without waiting for any scientific or economic justification.)
This case reminds me […]
