[ by Charles Cameron<\/strong> — Oxford the memory, Edward Said the music critic, WB Yeats and his Tom O’Roughley, Townes Van Zandt in the song of David Broza.. Barr and Aaliyah — four-page letters, kisses .. plus FaallBack, & Wiz Khalifa on my watch [!!] ]<\/p>\n

Minefield<\/strong>, yes —<\/p>\n

— but also two sides on one stage, so two virtues in the music of ideas:<\/p>\n

\n
  • polyphony <\/strong>— many voices, and\n
  • counterpoint<\/strong>, the juxtaposition, clash and resolution of contrary points of view<\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    For war and peace as symphonic, see Edward Said:<\/p>\n

    When you think about it, when you think about Jew and Palestinian not separately, but as part of a symphony, there is something magnificently imposing about it. A very rich, also very tragic, also in many ways desperate history of extremes \u2013 opposites in the Hegelian sense \u2013 that is yet to receive its due. So what you are faced with is a kind of sublime grandeur of a series of tragedies, of losses, of sacrifices, of pain that would take the brain of a Bach to figure out. It would require the imagination of someone like Edmund Burke to fathom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Just a snippet — the first paragraph from the Guardian piece<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    Lou Armour is a special needs teacher, an introspective man with a walking stick. If you passed him on the street you probably wouldn\u2019t notice anything about him beyond his limp. But 35 years ago he yomped across the Falkland Islands and ran through a minefield under artillery fire on Mount Harriet. His section killed several Argentinians in a bloody battle and Armour found himself attending to a fatally wounded Argentinian soldier who spoke to him in English about visiting Oxford. He watched as the young man died.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Ah, Oxford.<\/p>\n

    That’s I’d say, is a very good start for this post.<\/p>\n

    Okay, back into the mire:<\/p>\n

    Uh oh, just what we need!<\/p>\n

    As I said to Ali Minai<\/strong>, my view is that of WB Yeats<\/strong> in his poem Tom O’Roughley<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \u2018Though logic choppers rule the town,
    \nAnd every man and maid and boy
    \nHas marked a distant object down,
    \nAn aimless joy is a pure joy,\u2019
    \nOr so did Tom O\u2019Roughley say
    \nThat saw the surges running by,
    \n\u2018And wisdom is a butterfly
    \nAnd not a gloomy bird of prey.\t <\/p>\n

    \u2018If little planned is little sinned
    \nBut little need the grave distres.
    \nWhat\u2019s dying but a second wind?
    \nHow but in zigzag wantonness
    \nCould trumpeter Michael be so brave?\u2019
    \nOr something of that sort he said,
    \n\u2018And if my dearest friend were dead
    \nI\u2019d dance a measure on his grave.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Back to the Mueller probe according to President Trump<\/p>\n

    :Many, many people were badly hurt by this scam, but more importantly, our country was hurt. Our country was hurt. And they are on artificial respirators right now. They are getting mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    — and back to “little pencil-neck Adam Schiff” aka “Adam Schitt”:<\/p>\n

    He’s got the smallest, thinnest neck I’ve ever seen. He is not a long-ball hitter, but I saw him today, ‘Well we don’t really know, there still could have been some Russia collusion.’<\/p>\n

    Sick, sick.. these are sick people and there has to be accountability because it is all lies and they know it’s lies ..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Well then:<\/p>\n
