You and all your nonsense

the best game is chase. all around the house, around the table, from room to room, around the dining chairs while the television drones on about the latest paradises, coups, rebellions, and beauty contests, and the dollar and the stock exchange, and look at us - see how we are chasing each other paying no attention to you and all your nonsense.

- Orhan Pamuk on playing chase with little daughter Riya

On poetry

As I read the most intriguing poem that I have come across yet, what the poet had to say about poetry rang very true:

since feeling is first,
who pays any attention to the syntax of things,
will never wholly kiss you.

This is a poem that needs to be seen to fully experience the imagery it captures with so little.

Genius.
