more additions from Kiev

Monday, May 26, 2008


Russia has matryoshka dolls. Ukraine has...plastic caviar? It's everywhere on the streets of Kiev. Plastic caviar on a plate, plastic caviar in plastic crepes, plastic caviar with a side of plastic cucumbers and tomatoes. They come with magnets conveniently glued to the back for easy display on your refrigerator. And, for your coffee table, a ceramic pot overflowing with plastic caviar.

confusion, causes célèbres, and spinning apologia

To be nothing in the self-effacement of humility, yet, for the sake of the task, to embody its whole weight and importance in your bearing, as the one who has been called to undertake it. To give to people, works, poetry, art, what the self can contribute, and to take, simply and freely, what belongs to it by reason of its identity. Praise and blame, the winds of success and adversity, blow over such a life without leaving a trace or upsetting its balance. 
Towards this, so help me, God--
[Dag Hammarskjold]
if my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine. 
but it's alright, ma, it's life and life only...
