Weird, Amazing, Psychotic Life. In Technicolor.

But let the frame disjoint-
Both the worlds suffer-
Ere we will eat our meal in fear, and sleep
In the affliction of these terrible dreams
That shake us nightly.- Better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy.

• - We are right, he said, and the others are wrong.To speak of these things and to try to understand their nature and, having understood it, to try slowly and humbly and constantly to express, to press out again, from the gross earth or what it brings forth, from sound and shape and colour which are the prison gates of our soul, an image of the beauty we have come to understand -- that is art.


• Towards dawn he awoke. O what sweet music! His soul was all dewy wet. Over his limbs in sleep pale cool waves of light had passed. He lay still, as his soul lay amid cool waters, conscious of faint sweet music.


• Are you not weary of ardent ways,
  Lure of the fallen seraphim?
  Tell no more of enchanted days.
  The verses passed from his mind to his lips and, murmuring them over, he felt the rhythmic movement of a villanelle pass through them. The roselike glow sent forth its rays of rhyme: ways, days, blaze, praise, raise. Its rays burned up the world, consumed the hearts of men and angels: the rays that rose from the rose that was her wilful heart.


• To him she would unveil her soul's shy nakedness, to one who was but schooled in the discharging of a formal rite rather than to him, a priest of eternal imagination, transmuting the daily bread of experience into the radiant body of everliving life.


• 21 March, night: Free. Soulfree and fancyfree. Let the dead bury the dead. Ay. And let the dead marry the dead.


• When he pronounces a soft o he protrudes his full carnal lips as if he kissed the vowel. Has he? And could he repent?


• Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.

Happy New Year everybody!!!

Who's up for starting the year with Star Trek related goodies?

Here is the weekly post where members can post links to their own Star Trek-themed fan videos, art, fiction, crossover macros, and anything else that you feel best belongs right in here.

We recommend that you comment with a link to your journal/youtube/DeviantArt/etc, where we can all bust a gut laughing at your talent, as opposed to posting all the pictures/videos/etc in a single comment.

Punch pimp it!

I remembered seeing this years ago on Judging Amy, long before I became a fan of Star Trek myself. Even then, I found it kind of sweet, so now that I found it on youtube as well, I thought I'd share it with you guys.

OK, challenges over. I'll be working on the wrap-up posts when I get home from work and that will be posted a.s.a.p. The challenge post should be up sooner. The community is switching to moderated posting and no new picspams will be accepted. :)

CHALLENGE 15 YEAR-END LISTS
Best of (my) 2009


(TV, Movies, Books, People)

The anger and reverence characteristics of youth seem to allow themselves no peace until they have falsified men and things in such a way that they can vent themselves on them--- youth as such is something that falsifies and deceives. Later, when the youthful soul, tormented by disappointments, finally turns suspiciously on itself, still hot and savage even in its suspicion and pangs of conscience: how angry it is with itself now, how it impatiently rends itself, how it takes revenge for its long self-delusion, as if it had blinded itself deliberately! During this transition one punishes oneself by distrusting one’s feelings; one tortures one’s enthusiasm with doubts, indeed one feels that even a good conscience is a danger, as though a good conscience were a screening of oneself and a sign that one’s subtler honesty had grown weary; and above all one takes sides, takes on principle, against ‘youth’. – A decade later: and one grasps that all this too--- was still youth!

hello!

In the spirit of the new year, I was wondering if anyone had any quotes relating to making peace with the past and/or hope for the future.

thanks, and happy 2010 :)

In return, here's some quotes:

*

‘Why did you stop hanging out with Peter, anyway?’

Being unpopular was a communicable disease. Josie could remember Peter in elementary school, fashioning the tinfoil from his lunch sandwich into a beanie with antennae, and wearing it around the playground to try to pick up radio transmissions from aliens. He hadn’t realized that people were making fun of him. He never had.

She had a sudden flash of him standing in the cafeteria, a statue with his hands trying to cover his groin, his pants pooled around his ankles. She remembered Matt’s comment afterward: Objects in mirror are way smaller than they appear.

Maybe Peter had finally understood what people thought of him.

‘I didn’t want to be treated like him,’ Josie said, answering her mother, when what she really meant was, I wasn’t brave enough.

Nineteen Minutes, Jodi Picoult

*

Jason emerged from the men’s changing rooms a minute later. I was relieved he wasn’t wearing Speedos. I can’t stand Speedos. It’s almost impossible to keep your eyes off them, even – especially – when you can’t bear to look. If you want my opinion, Mother Nature demonstrated a fine sense of the absurd when she designed that portion of the male anatomy.
