... a weekend reading chapters of A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula le Guin. It was a book prize back in 1975 ("a good term's English") but I'm not sure I ever read it at the time.

Now, I approach it via Robert Duncan. Did he read and/or know le Guin (no mention in the Jarnot biog.)? Yet the Berkeley connections are suggestive: Duncan's shared house with Philip K. Dick; le Guin and Dick graduated together and corresponded ...

Back in 1975 it would never have occurred to me that le Guin might be using the fantasy genre to explore ideas of poetry and Craft - Ged as a Duncan-style Magus travelling between the shattered islands of Jungian self-making, pursued and pursuing a Shadow of his own creation. Today, the possibility seems near certain. (And what about that cover?)

Anyone out there able to put more flesh on the bones?

Did I hear correctly Clemency Burton-Hill lead into Stravinsky's Orpheus by stating there were several "gigs" in the past she wishes she'd been able to attend?

"Gigs" - meaning the first performance back in 1928. (I suppose The Rite of Spring was another such 'gig' for Clemency - and well wicked at that).

Oh God. This on BBC Radio 3. Is nowhere safe?

That trite & tawdry phrase: putting the 'great' back in Great Britain.

It grates, indeed.

Thinking back to Zappa's last days & the chilling line from the Broadway tour: "when the lie is so big".

How to live & think & breathe when the cracks themselves are plastered over?

Tomorrow
Will begin another spring. No one gets many, one at a time, like a long-
Awaited letter that one day comes. But it may not say what you hoped
Or distraction robs it of what it once would have meant ...

(Hymn to Life, James Schuyler)

Lines that acquire all the more resonance given the belated Spring here & that last week, for us, in Washington the blossom was delayed. Timing is all.

Putting pwoermds to one side for today, here's a quick plug for the Birch Cafe which is right next door to The Gershwin Hotel in New York. Just before leaving for the airport, we had something to eat there & their tahini-based salad dressing was a revelation.

Back home, I have been experimenting & can share with Blog readers the fruits of my research. Here goes:

In a small bowl:

One or two spoonfuls of tahini (basically a sesame seed paste - I found mine in the Israeli section of Carrefour's exotic foods but health food shops stock it usually)
Juice of half/ whole lemon
Minced garlic
A tea spoon of soy sauce (depending on taste)
Add a little water for the consistency you desire (I like it still fairly thick)

Mix well with a fork

Then spoon (it doesn't really drizzle) on to a salad until everything is coated. (They added in some crumbled walnuts & thinly sliced apple - a nice touch. Recommended).

Delicious!

Bring a little New York into your life ...
