from Denton Welch’s “Maiden Voyage”. (New York: E.P. Dutton/Obelisk, 1968). Double-page illustration by the author preceding the half-title page.

They’re cartouches … but unlike the decorative grotesqueries of Ottomar Elliger III ( http://www.arthermitage.org/III-Ottomar-Elliger/Cartouche.jpg ), all rushing gushes of pluming festoonery, celebrations of teeming corpulence and courtly hedonism, in Welch’s hand the intent seems withered, brittle, enfeebled and even slightly menacing. The style itself mimics the most corrupt and degraded of spit-bit etchings, the last scratchy bleeding dregs peeled from an all-but-exhausted plate … and of what?: a stunned bug naively biting into a snapped twig of poison sumac, a haughty mothy parrot lording over a petrified dropping, insisting on its resemblance to an armillary sphere … and around each, tumbling debris, decay, cracked entablatures, ruins, barren branches, dry husks instead of flowers… There are draperies in Denton Welch but they’re all soiled drab and tattered, coiled garlands and looping swags of grimy old dishtowels …

FATHER FALCON SPERM: "The First Man Was an Artist" - Barnett Newman, 1947

FATHER FALCON SPERM: "The First Man Was an Artist" - Barnett Newman, 1947:

Undoubtedly the first man was an artist.

A science of paleontology that sets forth this proposition can be written if it builds on the postulate that the aesthetic act always precedes the social one. The totemic act of wonder in front of the tiger-ancestor came before the act of murder. It is important to keep in mind that the necessity for dream is stronger than any utilitarian need. In the language of science, the necessity for understanding the unknowable comes before any desire to discover the unknown.

Man’s first expression, like his first dream, was an aesthetic one. Speech was a poetic outcry rather than a demand for communication. Original man, shouting his consonants, did so in yells of awe and anger at his tragic state, at his own self-awareness, and at his own helplessness before the void. Philologists and semioticians are beginning to accept the concept that, if language is to be defined as the ability to communicate by means of signs, be they sounds or gestures, then language is an animal power. Anyone who has watched the common pigeon circle his female knows that she knows what he wants.

The human in language is literature, not communication. Man’s first cry was a song. Man’s first address to a neighbor was a cry of power and solemn weakness, not a request for a drink of water. Even the animal makes a futile attempt at poetry. Ornithologists explain the cock’s crow as an ecstatic outburst of his power. The loon gliding lonesome over the lake, with whom is he communicating? The dog, alone, howls at the moon. Are we to say that the first man called the sun and the stars God as an act of communication and only after he had finished his day’s labor? The myth came before the hunt. The purpose of man’s first speech was an address to the unknowable. His behavior had its origin in his artistic nature.

MIchael Gira - Why I Ate My Wife

yourwordisworthless:

I heard your voice in my mind - you were Iying
I saw you under the door - you were sleeping
An ocean bleeds in your veins - now you’re melting
Your hand holds onto the sun - protecting
The air is red and cold - in your insides
I feel your tongue in my mind - caressing
I feel your eyes in mine - remembering
You peel my body away - you’re emerging
I put my mouth on your name - and I swallowed
I heard a sound in your chest - it was hollow
Your hand was under my skin - yes l’m fallow
I’ll curl my body inside - to see through you
I love you more than my mind - but l’m Iying
I can’t remember the words - but I loved you
I can’t remember my name - you live through me
I can’t remember the words - now l’m Iying
I can’t go on with the song - but you’re singing.

DC's: Dodie Bellamy Day:

The writer Dodie Bellamy explores the themes of bodily or spiritual invasion and possession. Some of the footprints of her prose are formal interruptions, intertextual voices, temporal shifts and syntactical twists. Consistently striving for innovation and the forthright depiction of emotion, Bellamy introduces sex, often using tropes from horror films and other pop culture debris. Her work frequently confronts topics like feminism, cultural politics, queer culture, AIDS, and body issues. Her best known work, the novel The Letters of Mina Harker, which Eileen Myles calls a “luscious deeply fucked up extravagant work” and which Dennis Cooper calls “a masterpiece,” resurrects the secretary-heroine of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Mina Harker, against the backdrop of gritty South of Market San Francisco, where she possesses Bellamy’s body, invades her life and circle of friends, and reenacts the romantic melodramas from her past in Stoker’s original. —Julia Bloch & Wikipedia
