another - on one of my net-surfing/lurking trip, i reencountered one of my fav poems;
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
Without ever having felt sorry for itself.
-- D.H. Lawrence
cool huh?went to the library lelong sale yesterday, ended up buying a pack of harper's magazine, which is actually an interesting read. bought other odd books, fitzgerald, etc and prospero's cell by lawrence durrell, which i already own, but my heart broke to see durrell's beautiful book tossed around by peasants who cannot recognise a gem for what it is. so i bought it for 2 bucks, so sad. lawrence durrell banished to the bargain bin.
total damage - 21$, 5 for the mags, 2 for each of the books = 8 books (some i know i won't even touch, why?).
listeningto: chanchan - buena vista social club
reading: after the fires - boey kim cheng
