We Are the Dying World


When ice on the pond is three feet thick
and white snow stretches a thousand miles,
my heart will still be like the pine and cypress,
but your heart--what will it be?

"Winter" from Four Ziye Songs, Ziye (c. 265-420)


Aloysius




Here's an important aside. For some time I've thought about how to create a post that would provoke no response. In the beginning, NAP had a few comment-less posts. The last comment-less post was New Year's Day. I haven't come up with a rock solid way to insure a comment-less post. The "I'm too busy partying to write a post" post seems to have the best shot but it is not a guarantee at all because it hasn't worked (except New Year's Day). I thought Justin's well placed mp3 non-post might just have the alchemic blend - although I would not have put any money on it. So what I'm going to do is ask that you don't comment to this post in honor of what you like about nap.

Ha, like that will keep me from commenting...

You know what i like though, Aloysius. It's the first name of the main character in The Lunatic, one of my favorite movies of all time. The main character collects words he likes and adds them to his name, so his name starts something like Aloysius Incomprehensible Communistic Alliteration Franco-Prussian etc etc. I dont remember what the actual names are, but the character rattles them off effortlessly on several occasions, though he is always interrupted before he can get to the end... its a great movie.
