crivelli's Journal

Edith Sitwell for real_funny_lady@lj
Good taste is the worst vice ever invented.

My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.

I wish the government would put a tax on pianos for the incompetent.

The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.

I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.

BELLS OF GRAY CRYSTAL
Bells of gray crystal
Break on each bough--
The swans' breath will mist all
The cold airs now.
Like tall pagodas
Two people go,
Trail their long codas
Of talk through the snow.
Lonely are these
And lonely am I ....
The clouds, gray Chinese geese
Sleek through the sky.

ANSWERS
I kept my answers small and kept them near;
Big questions bruised my mind but still I let
Small answers be a bullwark to my fear.

The huge abstractions I kept from the light;
Small things I handled and caressed and loved.
I let the stars assume the whole of night.
