melle-belle's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- personal statement describing in words what it means to be living, breathing human being is a shoddy translation at best. one that could swallow my lifetime and many more to reach an approximation of the original. but I cannot imagine not spending my life in that effort. some things are about the process. this somehow hints at a moral code outside monotheism. how toni morrison has adam eat the apple and its core in order to leave eden a rich man for he is the only man to have the taste of the first apple in the world in his mouth for the rest of his life. how a.s. byatt's poets believe in and love themselves and attend to their natures. how agee's sharecroppers stave off, for awhile, without defense, the enormous assaults of the universe. there is a rhythm in words like there is a rhythm in a human heart beat: swammerdam's "self-same stuff." 8:09 p.m. - 2009-05-06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
