It makes sense that imagist stuff lines up with what I've discussed here. Eliot's "Preludes" in particular works that way. I hadn't really thought of that before you mentioned it, though. Thanks.<br /><br />Did you read the followup article on porn? :P It's like this one, but sexy.Sam Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863236889998956170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56230747868041478.post-34164759025203243512012-01-13T09:04:53.183-08:002012-01-13T09:04:53.183-08:00I'd just like to say that I enjoyed this artic...I'd just like to say that I enjoyed this article, I never could of imagined that a trading card game could act as a catalyst for such a deep meta-narrative. I am wondering if you know anything about the poetry of Ezra Pound, in particular from his Imagist period and onward? I am just curious, because when you mentioned how your understanding of the text of a Magic the Gathering card was "prompted by the chemical catalyst of this text and what I already knew of the wider history and storyline," it reminded me greatly of Ezra Pound's "ideogrammic method". Not to mention the fact that Ezra Pound was a big influence on Hemmingway and helped him get his writing career started.Fimbulthulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223650452688839291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56230747868041478.post-27556339365006619892011-12-22T20:16:49.525-08:002011-12-22T20:16:49.525-08:00This is a great article, and I share your interest...This is a great article, and I share your interest in implied narrative and whatnot.<br /><br />I recently had an incredible interaction with a Winslow Homer painting titled "Fog Warning." Here it is: http://i.imgur.com/cy2lN.jpg<br /><br />I've often found that visual art leaves me cold. This painting bucked that trend in a big way. The fisherman's dilemma here is clear (at least to me) - can he make it back to the ship before the fog bank rolls in and he's stranded? How much more time can he spend out here? He has to make a difficult decision. He watches his salvation bob in and out of view on the horizon as he rises and falls with the ocean swells. I was on the edge of my fucking seat.<br /><br />It is, to my thinking, an incredibly evocative story in a manner very similar to the Hemingway's baby shoes. I'd say more, but I've probably already murdered it enough. Just take a minute to drink in that picture, though.David Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137541309253261432noreply@blogger.com
