July 18, 2010

"Man is born crying.  When he's cried enough, he dies"--Ran

"In a mad world only the mad are truly sane"--ibid.

"Will you pull me from my grave?"--ibid.


    Dreamed of an oil rig blowout in the Cumberland Basin near my hometown Sackville, N.B.; flying in as a human helicopter but having no place to land.


    Saw Kurosawa's Ran at the Cinematheque (for the second time). Powerful, powerful.  Some scenes are like silent film.


    Started reading Don't Know Much About the Civil War, which we bought yesterday at the St. Catherines book warehouse. (I haven't finished my current Lapham's Quarterly, but that can wait.)
