“If you stand

there long enough the air will thicken
     with dusk and dust and exhaust
         and finally with

a starless dark. The day will become something
     it’s never been before, something for
         which I have no name.” —Philip Levine, from “How to Get There” (via proustitute)

“The past enters and floods our present while we wait. I’ve labored to the top of this hill and it’s taken half my life to get here, and the other side slopes down. Today, once again, we’ll trust to the way heaven’s law compels but does not always protect its human allies. Today he’ll teach me even more about the war between the self and the world, the self divided into soul and body, the body usually acting as the traitor within the gates. He’ll lead me to that magic that we recognize in dream, that makes the face of the sleeper relax. He’ll show me how my shame could rise like a glad bird and vanish over the shoulder of the hill. I can wish us united in good feeling and united in hate, with a cure for every injury, though I know there’s no regaining what’s gone. We’ll act so that something better can be rendered in the days to come.” —Paragraph from ‘My Aeschylus’ (or ‘The Academy of Chaos and Self Command’) by Jim Shepard

This looks like an awesome book. Learned about it through my friend, fellow Marine and now photographer Carl Costas actually, who did a photo-shoot for the author.

“The postmodern founders’ patricidal work was great, but patricide produces orphans, and no amount of revelry can make up for the fact that writers my age have been literary orphans throughout our formative years.” —David Foster Wallace (via The Writer’s Almanac)
