Love's Epiphany

Written by Okakuro Kakutso, as the English is delicious, otherwise the poetry of Hans Borli, but wow what a lot to memorise, I would most likely choose one or two excerpts and leave it at that; after all we can, having digested their contents make poems about, or inspired by them, ourselves instead, and to create is THE THING! It would be a difficult choice as so many have just come fussing into my mind and want a chance to take part too! I would always want a book with a style that I liked to float along in, some crime stories, which do not interest me much anyway, are in such short cut sentences that one feels chopped up ( literally) while reading them! I always remember reading Osbert Sitwell's "Left Hand , Right Hand," where a sentence would go for almost a whole page, each time you thought you were coming to the end of it, like a Bach fugue, it would go on, and carrying you with it making coming to the end of the breath such a suspense and exciting! I like to experience literature, just as I experience nature and love, if you like. Glad you (plural) liked this funny little 'stubb', as the Norwegians say, yes it is intimate. I had the forest fires in mind Anni and thought that they awakened such powerful feelings, those fires, and love does just the same. It just came as a little thought, like one beautiful leaf on its journey from the tree to the ground, its lovely dance of life and death, where I stopped thinking. My love to you all, and may love find you too, Ann
