Poem of the day

Padraic Colum Poem
Hawaiian
 by Padraic Colum

SANDALWOOD, you say, and in your thoughts it chimes

Comments about poets

AnotherPoem: I whispered, 'I am too young,' / And then, 'I am old enough'; - William Butler Yeats

Candy Frank: Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire. - William Butler Yeats

Maria Ressa: "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity." William Butler Yeats

Gnarly Nesh: The Cap and Bells BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS The jester walked in the garden: The garden had fallen still; He bade his soul rise upward And stand on her window-sill.

#BLM: Bertolt Brecht >>> any other epic theatre playwright.

Jeff Stookey: “A man who doesn’t know the truth is just an idiot, but a man who knows the truth and calls it a lie is a crook.” --Bertolt Brecht, from "Galileo." Perhaps Trump is both, in his self-delusion.

Sam Cheung Ho Sum: Every page a victory. Who cooked the feast for the victors ? Every 10 years a great man. Who paid the bill ? So many reports. So many questions. －"Questions from a Work who Reads" by Bertolt Brecht

Lido Shuffle: to paraphrase Bertolt Brecht's Galileo: pity not the land that has no hero, pity the land who has Joseph-Gordon Levitt as a hero

David Challinor: Is it any wonder I've been playing & listening to more Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht/Hanns Eisler than usual lately? I'm feeling a sad & angry kinship with their times

주진무: [명언]Deeds, not words shall speak me. (John Fletcher)play

John Wall: Great Movie Lines: Diction! Watch your diction, Ralph. You're slurring your words. Marlon Brando slurred his words, u know. Montgomery Clift slurred his words. James Dean slurred his words. They were the greatest actors in the world and nobody could understand a word they said.

Jason Adams: James Whale's Fave Doughboy Douglass Montgomery

Gixi/Grace 江南阿姨: mind you shi fu/tu di relationships ARE considered taboo/incestuous culturally (guess what so are student/teacher relationships IRL - ICK!!!) but they're also a trope in wuxia fiction --> Return of Condor Heroes - Yang Guo/Xiao Long Nu my heaaaaaaaaart

noe: when oscar wilde said "behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic" bro i really felt that

Francisco Ribeiro: “Literature always anticipates life. It doesn't copy it but it molds it to its purpose. ” - Oscar Wilde
