This post was suggested by the date of an Artforum article . . .
The New York Times reported yesterday that Arn is art critic
of The New Yorker no longer, due to alleged misbehavior
in February at the publication's 100th anniversary party.
The above is an example of what has been called a foursquare.

T.S. Eliot and
the music of poetry
Durham theses, Durham University, 1999
"Taking into consideration the Symbolist influence,
together with his preoccupation with language
and his interest in the musical quality inherent
in verse, one finds that Eliot's verse contains
a rhythmic movement that tends to sweep across
the whole line and links lines and stanzas together.
His is a language that is highly charged with
a harmonic resonance and a certain distancing
and abstracting which makes the reference
more universal, less specifically personal."

And no fact of Alain Resnais’s life seemed to strike a stranger note than his assertion that the films which first inspired his ambition to become a film director were those in which Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced. Or was it Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler? He could never be sure. “I wondered if I could find the equivalent of that exhilaration,” he recalled. If he never did it was perhaps because of his highly cultivated attitude to serious cinema. His character and temperament were more attuned to the theory of film and a kind of intellectual square dance* which was far harder to bring to the screen with “exhilaration” than the art of Astaire and Rogers. *See today's 11 AM ET Sermon. |
