The Dance
“At the still point,
there the dance is.”
— T. S. Eliot,
quoted here in the entry

In memory of
Eugenio Montejo,
Venezuelan poet who
died at around midnight
on Thursday night:
From an obituary:
Montejo’s work “reached a wider audience thanks to the 2003 film ’21 Grams’ by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
In one scene, Sean Penn’s character quoted a line from a 1988 poem by Montejo. It reads: ‘The earth turned to bring us closer. It turned on itself and in us, until it finally brought us together in this dream.'”
