And the rest is silence
Returned as a poem - Hey Presto! Legitimate.
I’m very aware that this view of Duende is skewed, out of kilter, out and out wrong. Nevertheless. Throw the doors open, the wind could blow through if there happened to be any wind left in the world. My friend Tami has just figured out the most ingenious way to keep people from posting poetry all over the Campbell site. They are going to have a ‘Poetry Contest’ and everyone who posts a poem is automatically entered - and the poem is automatically moved into an archive. They are going to decide who ‘wins’ this contest by ‘popular vote.’ The whole thing right pissed me off. I just posted this to be her first ‘entry.’ That ought to go over like a red hot lead balloon. I suspect when one gets in a certain frame of mind one ought to go gag oneself with a prayer flag or something rather than keep writing things. Get your goddamn fingers off of the keys. Invoke the Angel, or be silent. Be silent. Silent. silent. silence.

Now that you have wrestled Duende to the ground check out Ralph Waldo Emerson's ferocious light.
Lord. Gag me with a Goya, I am in no way able to deal with Emerson.
"Rings and Jewels are not gifts, the only true gift is the gift of yourself." No way am I up to the ferocious nauseating light of Mr. Emerson.
Imagine me collapsed holding my whowhoo because I am almost fifty five and fifty five year old women should not laugh too much or... Too easy Costello! I had a feeling you might find Lorca's joyful darkness better than Emerson's nauseating light and as for Goya well be careful what you say! I am rather partial to Goya.
