Rilke – I love love love his work. Can’t write poetry for toffee but he always makes me want to try. Always understood the sublime to be slightly fearful (in the eighteenth century picturesque tradition). Slight sense of vertigo involved.

Jules: I finally jogged over to read what Sara had posted. Wow. Like I said there, it’s hard to go wrong with Rilke!

froog: Damn. Wish I’d thought of that… on the other hand, if I can’t think of something I’m quite happy to know that you can — and probably have! (Er, if that makes any sense.)

marta: Not a prob for me. (I, too — thanks to the blog-blocking enthusiasms of our I.T. department at work — have been suffering withdrawal from many of my favorite haunts, especially those powered by WordPress.) Now, if you hadn’t been blogging during the week and/or commenting elsewhere — then, then I’d have been worried!

I swear I left a comment here earlier, but now it is gone. Obviously I screwed up the recaptcha. Damn you recaptcha!

Anyway, I said something alone the lines of being sorry for not keeping up with my blog reading this week. Especially your blog because yours in one of my favorites. This week, things should be more normal. Perhaps. And I’ll read more.

Don’t tell me – on first hearing you thought it was “sing King Arthur’s song in a strange land”, didn’t you?

Oh what a good, good day when one runs across Rilke. Twice. And IN A ROW. (Sara Lewis Holmes has posted a Rilke-thing-of-beauty today, too, and I was JUST there.)

And now you’ve made me want to launch my Ronstadt songs (thanks again). It’s too bad I can’t multi-task well (work and listen to music).
