I wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

假若我有众天神的绣袍，

镶织着金光和银光，

那些湛蓝、浅灰和深黑的绣袍，

闪烁着夜光、日光和霞光，

我愿把它们全都铺在您的足下；

但我身无分文只有梦想，

我已经把梦想铺在您的足下，

请轻轻踏着走，因为您踏着我的梦想。

W.B. Yeats, 1899

我讨厌爱

你是否曾经爱过？糟透了，不是吗？它使你如此脆弱不堪。它楔入你的胸膛，打开你的心，然后某个人可以进到里面，把你弄得一团糟。于是你建起了所有的防御工事，穿上了整套铠甲，使得不会有人能伤到你，直到……某个与其他愚蠢的人没什么不同的愚蠢的人闯进了你愚蠢的生活……你把自己的一部分给了他们，他们却没让你这么做。

你成了爱的人质，爱进入了你的身体，它在内部吞噬你，任凭你在黑暗里哭泣。于是，“我们还是做普通朋友”这再简单不过的话，竟成了插入你胸膛的玻璃利刃。爱让人痛苦，这不仅仅是想象，也不仅仅发生在心里。它是灵魂的痛楚，是进到你身体并将你撕裂的实实在在的疼痛。我讨厌爱。

Mr. Darcy being a slut

In honor of the @hotjaneaustenmenpoll, I present to you Mr. Darcy 1995 being a slut.

You want more slutty men? Or more P&P text post memes?

[alwaysalreadyangry]

here’s the quick review of maurice that i posted at my letterboxd. a slight recycling of a point or two from the post i had the other day, but not actually taken from it at all except for the fact that both originated in my fuzzy little brain

A beautiful, lush, sensual masterpiece. Manages to make cricket seem sexy and fun! That’s almost all you need to know right there.

The costumes are so beautiful. And yet you’re aware from the start that this society is dangerous, dangerously constraining. You can feel it trying to close around Maurice like a noose… as soon as he leaves Cambridge it’s like there’s a ticking clock set in motion. And of course everything is tied up in class, as well as the law. He’s not a country aristocrat, like Clive - but he’s still a gentleman. His life is supposed to be dictated by respectability; his life is supposed to be about going to the club in a dinner jacket to see his friends, about getting married and having children because that’s the correct thing to do.

my heart bubbled over like effervescent when read this fatastic review of Maurice. 

[expo63]

James Wilby was on BBC Radio 4’s The Film Programme this afternoon (2 August, 4pm BST) being interviewed by Antonia Quirke about the Maurice 4K re-release! Quirke is full of praise for Maurice, and especially for James’ astonishing naturalistic face acting … refreshing coverage. 

Programme link here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bclvy1

The episode is repeated at 11pm BST on Sunday 5 August and/or downloadable (see link above).

Beautiful vioce and wonderful interviewing!

Thanks Forster, thanks Ivory, and especially thanks Wilby to let us throwing back to that great memories of filming Maurice.

Poldark actor James Wilby sees nothing wrong with lusting over men and women on TV. Do you agree? https://t.co/FWbSsy8Gew The Wright Stuff, Channel 5, 2 Aug 2018

:)))))

A big thank-you to the wonderful @robertinblack for spotting this little bit of video of James on this morning’s The Wright Stuff on Twitter. (Fingers crossed for a full video sooner or later…) And a very nice snippet, too. Is anyone else thinking James should host his own show? :-D

[kirarasan]

Fingers crossed 🤞

Please be aware that these are James Ivory’s photos, and treat them with respect accordingly. I’m not going to repost the photos, and I won’t reblog them from anyone who does.

These lovely photos caputured Lucy and Geroge, Maurice and Alec 30+ years reunion by James Ivory made me crying out loud with joys and tears 😭

[dailymaurice]

“I put it offensively,” he went on, “but I must make sure you understand. Alec slept with me in the Russet Room that night when you and Anne were away.”

“Maurice — oh, good God!”

“Also in town. Also — ” here he stopped. —  E.M. Forster, Maurice

[dailymaurice]

“Shared what?”

“All I have. Which includes my body.” —  E.M. Forster, Maurice

[kirarasan]

[kirarasan]

Maurice blew out his cheeks, and began picking the flowerets off a tall stalk. They vanished one after another, like candles that the night has extinguished. “I have shared with Alec,” he said after deep thought. —  E.M. Forster, Maurice

[dailymaurice]

“Yes, quite right; I’m a frightful theorist, I know.”

“ — and ’ll mention Alec by his name.” —  E.M. Forster, Maurice

[kirarasan]

I will call HIM by his NAME, you coward!←_←

[dailymaurice]

“As I said before, I’m not here to get advice, nor to talk about thoughts and ideas either. I’m flesh and blood, if you’ll condescend to such low things —” —  E.M. Forster, Maurice

[dailymaurice]

“When you brought yourself to kiss my hand,” added Maurice, with deliberate bitterness.

“Don’t allude to that,” he flashed, not for the first and last time, and for a moment causing the outlaw to love him. Then he relapsed into intellectualism. —  E.M. Forster, Maurice

[dailymaurice]

“Look out,” cried Clive, with a glance at darkness. Reassured, he said stiffly, “What a grotesque announcement.”

“Most grotesque,” the voice echoed, “but I felt after all I owe you I ought to come and tell you about Alec.” —  E.M. Forster, Maurice

[expo63]

“There is no forest or fell to escape to today, no cave in which to curl up, no deserted valley for those who wish neither to reform nor corrupt society but to be left alone. People do still escape, one can see them any night at it in the films. But they are gangsters not outlaws, they can dodge civilization because they are part of it.”

— E. M. Forster, Maurice, at the end of the book in “Notes on the three men” (via ladyofmisfortune)

‘May I ask your name?’ / ‘Call me by your name…’

This is what we call "parallels"
