There's a little snippet of Pound's Seafarer in there - "Lordly men are to earth o’ergiven"

he's too clever by half


edit: I sort of hope that I will approach Prynne levels of erudition the older I get but it seems as each day goes by I become stupider and stupider and then I will die with drool dribbling down my chin

 

[Benny Bunter]

There's actually another little quote from the seafarer in there

"Nor stir hand nor think in mid heart"

Benny reaching Prynne levels of comprehension!

All the food vocab reminds me a bit of High Pink on Chrome. There seem to be hints of a cookbook recipe threaded through it almost

As an aside, the other day I was reading High Pink on Chrome, and that has loads of culinary/food related words too. I'll type them out:

Take stock/boiled in the pasteurised skillet/reduced almost to a syrup/choice herbs/the carrots need thinning/melon seed, dyed in the grain/bite at breakfast/to be devoured at a sitting/pass the mint sauce/the caustic sheen of that crest rises in the oven/the microwave/field of parsnips/cold lunch/give or take another sandwich/this little biscuit/feedstuff/hold there like butter-fat/choice flavour/the baker's trial

and I just thought he was constipated....

There's a lot of sound patterning in there if you look closely, like these alternating soft and hard Cs and Ks

enticed gastric pacified price brisk
orifice tusked liquorice, mollusc

he's a genius, I only wish I could be as clever as him but it's not going to happen, unfortunately

edit: he's in his eighties and he's running rings about us youngsters

Cs and Ps and Os:

[Benny Bunter]

When links in text-cohesion are violated or cut
off, when extreme ambiguity displaces recognisable topic-focus, when
discourse levels and fields of reference are switched abruptly and without
sign-posts, these features may begin to comprise a second-order strat-
egy of pattern-making in a new way. Indeed, the use of rhyme-forms
in traditional English and also Chinese poetry may work like this, by
setting up delayed parallels of sound-effect that cross the boundaries of
sentence form and phrasal intactness. 17 In more modernist procedures,
threads of sound-relation and resemblance may likewise open links that
can jump across semantic space, activating the reader’s auditory memory
as a carrier of text-pattern.

For example, a switch of semantic field may seem locally disruptive in
the most extreme manner; but then the reader may observe some later
recurrence of the switched field that sets up a trace or thread, sometimes
obliquely or many lines later. This may be not meaning determining its
pattern of expression, so much as pattern and pattern-violation generat-
ing their own tendencies of meaning—or perhaps we should call this
“meaning”, in some second-order sense. I don’t think this is equivalent
to post-modernist playfulness, where meaning is allowed to skim across
a surface in a deliberately arbitrary way, because the use of difficulty as a
method of poetic thought is different both in intention and effect from
difficulty as a playground or a funfair

I've gone full on "digital humanities" and done some 'distance reading' on "Poems 2016 - 2024" resulting in some meaningless graphs, but some people love graphs so...his favourite words over time

There's something about that color scheme and background that's giving off a warm 70s vibe.

Can you do a proximity analysis? Where you see how many words separate one word from another word?

So for example, "open" and "light" might be separated by an average of 17.3 words between 2016 and 2020, but by an average of 13.4 words between 2020 and 2024...

Plummet Capture is a camera option available for the Plummet 2 experience at Zip World, where participants drop 100 ft through trapdoors:

• How it works: A compact camera is attached to the participant's helmet on a boom, allowing it to capture their face. After the experience, the camera is docked and a ticket is printed with a QR code that can be scanned to view the footage.

Cape Ann -​

by T. S. Eliot
V. CAPE ANN

O quick quick quick, quick hear the song-sparrow,
Swamp-sparrow, fox-sparrow, vesper-sparrow
At dawn and dusk. Follow the dance
Of the goldfinch at noon. Leave to chance
The Blackburnian warbler, the shy one. Hail
With shrill whistle the note of the quail, the bob-white
Dodging by bay-bush. Follow the feet
Of the walker, the water-thrush. Follow the flight
Of the dancing arrow, the purple martin. Greet
In silence the bullbat. All are delectable. Sweet sweet sweet
But resign this land at the end, resign it
To its true owner, the tough one, the sea-gull.
The palaver is finished.
