Meaningful Love __________________________________________________ by John Ashbery What the bad news was became apparent too late for us to do anything good about it. I was offered no urgent dreaming, didn't need a name or anything. Everything was taken care of. In the medium-size city of my awareness voles are building colossi. The blue room is over there. He put out no feelers. The day was all as one to him. Some days he never leaves his room and those are the best days, by far. There were morose gardens farther down the slope, anthills that looked like they belonged there. The sausages were undercooked, the wine too cold, the bread molten. Who said to bring sweaters? The climate's not that dependable. The Atlantic crawled slowly to the left pinning a message on the unbound golden hair of sleeping maidens, a ruse for next time, where fire and water are rampant in the streets, the gate closed—no visitors today or any evident heartbeat. I got rid of the book of fairy tales, pawned my old car, bought a ticket to the funhouse, found myself back here at six o'clock, pondering "possible side effects." There was no harm in loving then, no certain good either. But love was loving servants or bosses. No straight road issuing from it. Leaves around the door are penciled losses. Twenty years to fix it. Asters bloom one way or another [print by Elizabeth Addison]

知凡 回复 悄悄话 谢谢您的赞美!!!这个世界,但凡您说的“垃圾”就是这个世界上的“稀世珍宝”,您说的“傻瓜”就是这个世界上“稀世的聪明人”,但凡您说的不“像样”的人,就是这个世界上“最像样”的人。。。捞蟹?这个世界,人人都在“捞”这“捞”那,所以人人痛苦。。。我们那个“好地方”,没有一个有“捞”什么之心,所以别有天地。。。。
秋菱 回复 悄悄话 今天又路过,我也欢迎一下楼上那位看来喜欢以己度人的朋友。
全懂还是半懂不懂,只有自己才知道呢,您说是不是?
您还没坐下,怎么就知道自己不受欢迎呢?
请到作舟的[巨蟹沙龙]去扔砖,同时也戴好头盔喔:))

AAAB 回复 悄悄话 给你们肯定不欢迎我,

欢迎你呀, 我敢肯定你的灵魂会被拯救如果你常来这里!
影云 回复 悄悄话 有意思,也送给那个欢迎不欢迎的两个词语吧。

一个妄下论断的人多少有点可悲
一个头脑狭隘的人多少有点可怜

建议:多看书,看好书,看可以让你心灵开阔的书
知凡 回复 悄悄话 致“你们肯定不欢迎我”:

一般评论者对别人的认识反映出他们对自己的认识。

“你们肯定不欢迎我”是你说的,不是我们说的,你希望我们欢迎你还是不欢迎你呢?

我去看了,很高兴见你们都在那。本想冒两泡,但我还没注册,寻思得起一个象你一样有诗意的名字开始新生活,所以拖至今未果。喜欢你们的沙龙,最近很忙,待我得空,一定跑那里猛灌水。
