Haute Desiderata

"Haute Desiderata" 

things of beauty
drip off bodies
transitory

le rêve privé
vague veil 
reveals desiderata

transparent
magical
pomp

exotique
automaton
idle idol walk

robotic
sensuous 
cool and vacant 

such beauty 
drips off bodies
transitory desiderata

elusive
illusory 
birds of paradise

haughty 
haute
pomp desiderata

gilded
graceful 
incomplete 

desiderata drifting
dwindling 
desideratum

elusive
statues idyll 
idle idol walk

numbing 
comfortable
birds of paradise

les grand faux apparat
ad infinitum 
mute Belle Époque

bardot bardo
comfortably numb
on repeat

Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:46 PM "One of my secret instructions to myself as a poet is: ‘Whatever you do, don’t be boring." Anne Sexton Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:51 PM "If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only way I know it." Emily Dickinson Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:50 PM "I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine." Emily Dickinson Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:46 PM “Even so, I must admire your skill. You are so gracefully insane.” Anne Sexton

Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:38 PM 'Poetry fettered fetters the human race.' William Blake Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:40 PM 'Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.' Robert Frost ;) Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:39 PM 'Poetry is, at bottom, a criticism of life.' Matthew Arnold.

Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:35 PM "The only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an 'objective correlative'; in other words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion; such that when the external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given , the emotion is immediately evoked.' T.S. Eliot Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:42 PM "Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.' T.S. Eliot Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:36 PM "The poet's mind is in fact a receptacle for seizing and storing up numberless feelings, phrases, images, which remain there until all the particles which can unite to form a new compound are present together.' T.S. Eliot

Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:26 PM “Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.” Percy Bysshe Shelley Lady Labyrinth October 13, 2022 at 7:29 PM “A poet dares be just so clear and no clearer... He unzips the veil from beauty, but does not remove it. A poet utterly clear is a trifle glaring.” E. B. White, from One Man's Meat.
