I love Anne Carson’s humor. Every joke is like a dare, an incitement to laugh if you think you’ve gotten close enough to understanding the sky-high, earthy elegance of her thoughts and images; every joke is also an invitation delivered without tyrannical intonation to the listener to possess a moment of illusory time and meaning, a penultimate act of generosity. I would call AC an inspiration, but that feels like a reduction of the duende that speaks to and from her, so instead I’ll just say “thank you”.
"Christopher Hitchens once said to me that 'having a child is like your own heart walking around in another body', so there went my own heart walking towards its own death." One of my favorite set of words of all time.
You know, SOME people are actually doing research when they are going through RUclips, so calling this 'Lecture on the History of Skywriting' is pretty damn misleading since skywriting is what I'm looking for in terms of background for an article. "This is a reading" would have been accurate and helpful.
Leaving the comment probably took a lot more of your research time than just clicking on the next video? It's an art piece with a title.. not hard to understand at all

I love it. Thanks for sharing. 'The tricky thing about practising if you're the sky is there's nowhere to go to be alone.'

What a life changing experience that was

"She told me she found me an inelegant solution to a non-existent problem." Ouch.
