I haven't read any Nabokov in a couple of years - the last was The Defence - but these are very evocative. I love the haiku form but haven't the spiritual discipline for it myself. I suppose I don't need to say that I like the idea of taking some other text as a jumping off point. Thanks for joining me over at Secret Poems. I look forward to more of your work.
Oh, but your poetry does reveal a spiritual discipline, Mairi. I am addicted to literature, birthing other pieces of literature. Tremendous to have found your exciting blog.
I just reread your profile and noticed your obsession with fine pens. You might check out this site - http://thistlepens.com/. I have two of this man's pens and my daughter has a beautiful perfume applicator to carry her Chanel #5 to school in. Wonderful workmanship and a real eye for style.
I just took a delightful tour through Thistle Pens. The fountain pen is making my heart beat wildly. Thank you, Mairi for sending me this link. For the Holidays I shall treat myself. Your daughter sounds like a supreme class act.
"her wet eyelids" speaks volumes, Marie. I love boiling a story down to just this - just enough. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteDear Karen,
ReplyDeleteI find it is in the boiling that enables
me to blanket myself in the words, thoughts
of an author.
Thank you.
Marie

ReplyDeleteEvocative as always...
