Language is Magic

This is a blog where I share my original poetry and appreciate the beauty of the words of others.

“The essence of poetry is to find strangeness in language.”

— Hélène Cixous 

[89words]

“Black as – the centre of an eye, the centre, a blackness that sucks at light. I love your vigilance Night, first mother of songs, give me the voice to sing of you in those fingers lies the bridle of the four winds. Crying out, offering words of homage to you, I am only a shell where the ocean is still sounding. But I have looked too long into human eyes. Reduce me now to ashes – Night, like a black sun.”

— Marina Tsvetaeva, from Insomnia

“Life is a place where it’s forbidden to live.”

ok when I was in college I was waiting for the bus and this woman came up behind me and hissed in my ear “I know you’re trying to steal my fathers sperm” and that’s exactly what it’s like having people add tags to your post now that you can see them

The word garbage sounds like it should mean clothing

[fremedon]

It does! Or rather, it does come from garb. Garbage originally meant the small fabric scraps left over from tailoring–all the tiny bits that were too small to cut a pattern piece from.

Back when you generally bought fabric by the yard from a draper and then took it to a tailor to be made up, keeping the garbage was the tailor’s perquisite. Unscrupulous tailors were accused of deliberately cutting to maximize the garbage, which still had various uses in tailoring–as padding, or for backing buttons–and could also be sold for making paper.
