to consider you as a chatbot (what ever that is) is outside of my realm of experience.

now "granny" is totally acceptable.

you are a real person right.

Tchoc, I listened to the two CBC interviews with LC and he talks about translating LORCA's poem into english (or maybe it was one of the articles that i read). I really do not see the poem as a simple translation. Lorca words are ten little girls and LC words are ten pretty women LC is speaking abou...

Tchoc,

or breathing the same air.

Is harold involved in this site ?

Tchoc,

I just read the essay by Harold, fantastic. I liked his statement

"Literature is only one context for poetry, one that has proven extremely popular in a culture quite alienated from both the earth and poetry, the language of our lives on the earth."

very true.

I like this description by LC about his introduction to LORCA at 15. (from “Morning Becomes Eclectic”, Interview 1997, KCRW Radio, USA) WOW!!! (San Francisco 3 7 1993) “I accepted the poet's invitation to enter into this world where fistfuls of ants were thrown at the sun and crystals obscured the p...

To Tchoc and Holydove, so this morning i come across this line: "Through the arch of Elvira Im going to see you pass to see your thighs and begin weeping" by Lorca that LC say he stumbled across when he was 15 and from then on he was hooked on Lorca. I think i have fallen down the rabbit h...

Tchoc,

Given the psychological nature of the poem and then there is Freud and Vienna. This is one connection that i can think of.

Has part 2 come out yet ?

Ok now im confused, it has been a while since i read "the world according to Garp"

David

Tchoc,


YOur right it was a trip down memory lane right back to my college dorm room. I forgot the Buffy Saint Maire sang the song and that i had the album.

What do you think the significants of Vienna is to the song ?

Does it go beyond Lorca's use of it in the original poem ?

David

Tchoc, Thanks for the article, I liked "apocalyptic lounge lizard", and "existential comedian" The venue back in the 70's when i was in college and had no money, "not that i have any more now" was kind of the perfect place to be introduced to LC. It was the called the D...

To Tchoc and Holydove, it is a good question, what is a "kabbalistic atmosphere" listening to LC's songs i always seem to fall into a trance. somebody made the comment once that LC breaths different air then the rest of us. david Hi Tchoc & David, Oh my, maybe I shouldn't have used th...

Thanks, holydove, I appreciate the time you deserved to this. I don't see how you could go off topic if there is something kabbalistic about the song. The only thing I knew about Kabbalah is that it is a huge body of teachings. One has to start somewhere. We can chew little bites here and there and...

Tchoc,

I agree, this song is intoxicating. I cannot tell you how many 1000's of times i have listen to it.
