“How many gifted witches, young and fair, have flunked, been ordinary, left the back-stooping study of their art, black or white, for love, that sudden foreigner?”

Salutation

by Ezra Pound

O generation of the thoroughly smug and thoroughly uncomfortable, I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun, I have seen them with untidy families, I have seen their smiles full of teeth and heard ungainly laughter. And I am happier than you are, And they were happier than I am; And the fish swim in the lake and do not even own clothing.

I’m sick? Well, take a look at yourself, old dear. You’re so hot to play mental health week, what about you? Talk about dream worlds. You’ve got a pathological fix on a woman who’s not only an admitted criminal but who screams if you come near her! So what about your dreams, daddy dear?

“My thoughts abandoned me, my heart was disillusioned, and my enchanted world vanished just as if I had betrayed it. Visions of the future abandoned me the way a flock of doves, having rested, abandons the tree they no longer need. All this happened after I trusted people for the last time in my life.”

Velimir Khlebnikov, from a letter to his sister written c. January 1921

My birth name is Mahershalalhashbaz Gilmore. In the Bible, that’s the name of the prophet Isaiah’s second son. He was instructed to write the name in capital letters on a rock, and it means “divine restoration” or “speedy to the spoils.”  (x)
