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 回複 悄悄話 謝謝您的讚美!!!這個世界,但凡您說的“垃圾”就是這個世界上的“稀世珍寶”,您說的“傻瓜”就是這個世界上“稀世的聰明人”,但凡您說的不“像樣”的人,就是這個世界上“最像樣”的人。。。撈蟹?這個世界,人人都在“撈”這“撈”那,所以人人痛苦。。。我們那個“好地方”,沒有一個有“撈”什麽之心,所以別有天地。。。。
秋菱 回複 悄悄話 今天又路過,我也歡迎一下樓上那位看來喜歡以己度人的朋友。
全懂還是半懂不懂,隻有自己才知道呢,您說是不是?
您還沒坐下,怎麽就知道自己不受歡迎呢?
請到作舟的[巨蟹沙龍]去扔磚,同時也戴好頭盔喔:))

AAAB 回複 悄悄話 給你們肯定不歡迎我,

歡迎你呀, 我敢肯定你的靈魂會被拯救如果你常來這裏!
影雲 回複 悄悄話 有意思,也送給那個歡迎不歡迎的兩個詞語吧。

一個妄下論斷的人多少有點可悲
一個頭腦狹隘的人多少有點可憐

建議:多看書,看好書,看可以讓你心靈開闊的書
知凡 回複 悄悄話 致“你們肯定不歡迎我”:

一般評論者對別人的認識反映出他們對自己的認識。

“你們肯定不歡迎我”是你說的,不是我們說的,你希望我們歡迎你還是不歡迎你呢?
LTG 回複 悄悄話 AAAB,

影雲 回複 悄悄話 HI,AB,

名字不是問題。主要是不要太變名字,要不分不清:)
我也沒有想過我的名字怎樣好呀,真的。
好,歡迎冒泡泡

AAAB 回複 悄悄話 hi, 影雲
我去看了,很高興見你們都在那。本想冒兩泡,但我還沒注冊,尋思得起一個象你一樣有詩意的名字開始新生活,所以拖至今未果。喜歡你們的沙龍,最近很忙,待我得空,一定跑那裏猛灌水。
