The Death of
a Nation
|
FRANKLIN.-If six nations of
ignorant savages were capable of
forming a powerful and, as it
seems, an indissoluble state--I
refer to the Hotinoshoni league of
nations, won't we be able to be up
to the challenge of uniting the
American English Colonies? While
we are, as they say, slaves of a
single man, they are masters of
their lives. To the Hotinoshoni
all men are created equal, endowed
by their gods with equal rights.

... Salman
Rushdie belongs to that
unfortunate group of
writers and filmmakers
who after a premature
success find themselves
in the quagmire of
Status Quo complacency
... the voluptuous
heroine dies asserting
that Galileo was right
in affirming that the
earth spins around the
sun. The melodramatic
effect of her final
words is sadly spoiled
by physics (the earth
spins around the sun as
the sun spins around the
earth and both around
the Milky Way: Galileo
was not as right as we
would like to believe),
but by the lengthy
reflections of Professor
Malik Solanka...

... One of the
greatest misconceptions of
aesthetics is that poetry
corresponds primarily to
emotions: «There is no
question, then, that a
work of art is presented
to sensuous apprehension»
Thoughts appear to be the
private privilege of
philosophy. But emotions
cannot exist by
themselves. They require
the assistance of the
mind, or―as Kant pointed
out in his third critique,
they must be subordinated
to the mind in order to
become sublime.

Amongst all the greatest
playwrights of the 20th
century, Arthur Miller
might be remembered as
the most emotional
writer of an unemotional
milieu. Let's
put aside his repetitive
discourse on inhuman
capitalism, his stubborn
or one-dimensional
characters and his shallow
and uninventive dialogues;
only then we'll be able to
appreciate the emotional
outpouring of opposite
personalities or social
forces: father and son,
wife and husband, boss and
employee, brother and
brother. |

Half the
world has darkened
And half has shined
since you left
Ten years of virginal
emotions
End thus in an abrupt
and final leave
The vows
we made on the lawn
Of the most lavish
Cheshire field
Lie withered by your
hand
I vainly nursed them
back to health
I won't
upset you with my love
again
I wont' resist the
universe and its designs
I herewith surrender
your kindheartedness and
hope
To allow myself to
learn, to love, to
rejoice again and die

I wrote the first draft of
po in 1988, while
discovering the novels of
Samuel Beckett.
The title
refers primerely to p.o.
(post office in the US) a
subtle reference to
Bartleby, but also to the
portuguese word for
'dust'. po is man who
lives intensively, in
spite of being constantly
hurt by his relatives and
friends. The external
world is his
reference, the source of
his sufferings,
pleasures and ambitions.
