#go long

finished this drawing over the weekend, processing several month’s worth of inner turmoil and stress dreams, inspired by/with imagery borrowed from the sublime song ‘Go Long’ by Joanna Newsom 🗡️💐🏰

you have been wronged, tore up since birth. you have done harm, others have done worse. will you tuck your shirt? will you leave it loose? you are badly hurt. you're a silly goose. you are caked in mud, and in blood and worse. chew your bitter cud. grope your little nurse… well, i have never seen such a terrible room gilded with the gold teeth of the women who loved you

"When a sentence is made stronger, it usually becomes shorter. Thus, brevity is a by-product of vigor." ~ William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White. But they could never bench-press this mighty sentence with which Virginia Woolf opened her essay "On Being Ill."

Or these gems from Orlando: Nature, who has played so many queer tricks upon us, making us so unequally of clay and diamonds, of rainbow and granite, and stuffed them into a case, often of the most incongruous, for the poet has a butcher’s face and the butcher a poet’s; nature, who delights in muddle and mystery, so that even now (the first of November, 1927) we know not why we go upstairs, or why we come down again, our most daily movements are like the passage of a ship on an unknown sea, and the sailors at the mast-head ask, pointing their glasses to the horizon: Is there land or is there none? to which, if we are prophets, we make answer “Yes”; if we are truthful we say “No”; nature, who has so much to answer for besides the perhaps unwieldy length of this sentence, has further complicated her task and added to our confusion by providing not only a perfect ragbag of odds and ends within us—a piece of a policeman’s trousers lying cheek by jowl with Queen Alexandra’s wedding veil—but has contrived that the whole assortment shall be lightly stitched together by a single thread. Memory is the seamstress, and a capricious one at that. Memory runs her needle in and out, up and down, hither and thither. We know not what comes next, or what follows after. Thus, the most ordinary movement in the world, such as sitting down at a table and pulling the inkstand towards one, may agitate a thousand odd, disconnected fragments, now bright, now dim, hanging and bobbing and dipping and flaunting, like the underlinen of a family of fourteen on a line in a gale of wind. Instead of being a single, downright, bluff piece of work of which no man need feel ashamed, our commonest deeds are set about with a fluttering and flickering of wings, a rising and falling of lights.”

--Virginia Woolf, Orlando

Go Long- Have One One Me.
