Among the Multitude



Today is Walt Whitman's Birthday.

Among the Multitudes by Walt Whitman

Among the men and women the multitude,
I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs,
Acknowledging none else, not parent, wife, husband, brother, child, any nearer than I am,
Some are baffled, but that one is not--that one knows me.
Ah lover and perfect equal,
I meant that you should discover me so by faint indirections,
And I when I meet you mean to discover you by the like in you.

Film Scene I Love - Zoolander



The gasoline fight in Zoolander. Any scene set to the pure pop delight that is Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go can't be bad.

RIP Lynn Redgrave


Lynn Redgrave
March 8, 1943 - May 2, 2010

From her obituary on The Guardian website:

She appeared on Broadway in 2005. . .receiving the best reviews for her performance as Mrs Culver in Somerset Maugham's The Constant Wife at the Roundabout theatre. "Every night, for a couple of hours," she said, "I wasn't a person with cancer. You almost feel like yourself when there's so much evidence, mainly the mirror, to show you you aren't. It was true 'Doctor Theatre'."

Full Moon and Little Frieda


Full Moon and Little Frieda by Ted Hughes

A cool small evening shrunk to a dog bark and the clank of a bucket -
And you listening.
A spider's web, tense for the dew's touch.
A pail lifted, still and brimming - mirror
To tempt a first star to a tremor.

Cows are going home in the lane there, looping the hedges with their warm
wreaths of breath -
A dark river of blood, many boulders,
Balancing unspilled milk.
'Moon!' you cry suddenly, 'Moon! Moon!'

The moon has stepped back like an artist gazing amazed at a work
That points at him amazed.
