Chamber of Secrets: Jorge Luis Borges: "The Immortal"

http://tuvala.blogspot.com/2012/04/jorge-luis-borges-immortal.html

The poetry of life. Saturday, April 07, 2012. Jorge Luis Borges: "The Immortal". Is always rewarding in one way or other. I picked up his Collected Fictions. One night, guided by I don't know what. Following my own hunch, I turned to the collection of ficciones called The Aleph. In this book one piece was called "The Immortal". This seemed to me the place to dive down that night. Belief in immortality, but the veneration paid to the first century of life is proof that they truly believe only in those hun...

Chamber of Secrets: David Whyte: Ten years later

http://tuvala.blogspot.com/2014/01/david-whyte-ten-years-later.html

The poetry of life. Sunday, January 12, 2014. David Whyte: Ten years later. Has visited this blog earlier, in his poem The Well of Grief. As well as his poem called Faith. This poem, called Ten Years Later. Shares an underlying depth and silence with the other two. This is what most draws me to his writing. Let's see the poem first:. When the mind is clear. And the surface of the now still,. The rolling kayak,. I find myself near darkness,. Paddling again to Yellow Island. Cover the grey rocks. Subscribe...

Chamber of Secrets: April 2012

http://tuvala.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

The poetry of life. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Jorge Luis Borges: "Everness". One thing does not exist: Oblivion. God saves the metal and he saves the dross,. And his prophetic memory guards from loss. The moons to come, and those of evenings gone. The shadows in the glass. Which, in between the day’s two twilights, you. Have scattered by the thousands, or shall strew. Henceforward in the mirrors that you pass. And everything is part of that diverse. Crystalline memory, the universe;. This poem is so simpl...

Chamber of Secrets: The choice of reclusion. Adrienne Rich - and me - on Emily Dickinson

http://tuvala.blogspot.com/2013/06/adrienne-rich-on-emily-dickinson.html

The poetry of life. Wednesday, June 12, 2013. The choice of reclusion. Adrienne Rich - and me - on Emily Dickinson. I am travelling at the speed of time, along the Massachusetts Turnpike. For months, for years, for most of my life, I have been hovering like an insect against the screens of an existence which inhabited Amherst, Massachusetts, between 1831 and 1884.". Thus starts the essay on Emily Dickinson. Written by Adrienne Rich. She, as I have done myself, sees Dickinson as someone who chose. I'll co...

Chamber of Secrets: Rilke again: "I love the dark hours of my being" / "Ich liebe meines Wesens Dunkelstunden"

http://tuvala.blogspot.com/2011/11/rilke-again-i-love-dark-hours-of-my.html

The poetry of life. Friday, November 18, 2011. Rilke again: "I love the dark hours of my being" / "Ich liebe meines Wesens Dunkelstunden". In line with the earlier excerpt from Rilke's Das Stundenbuch. The Book of Hours. There is a piece hinting at darkness and silence and depth that I would like to share with you. I might actually be more fond of the first seven stanzas than the five that conclude this poem. More of that later. I love the dark hours of my being. In which my senses drop into the deep.

Chamber of Secrets: Atonement: The writer's point of view

http://tuvala.blogspot.com/2012/02/atonement-writers-point-of-view.html

The poetry of life. Saturday, February 25, 2012. Atonement: The writer's point of view. In the novel Atonement. Anyway, a passage I've always loved in this novel, culminating in a single sentence, is where Briony is writing down her opening line of a story after seeing the fountain scene and understanding that she must enter a new level of writing and existing; enter the grown-up world and write about more serious layers of reality than fairytale princesses and storylines always ending in good marriages.
