The following are extracts picked out randomly from a poetry book which I also randomly picked up in the National Library.. Just for your reference, the book is entitled "it" and the poet is Inger Christensen.. Who is a Danish actually..

Here's something which may explain why the title of the book is "it".. Unusual title yeah?

"In the beginning I actually acted as if I weren't there, as if it ("I") were just some protoplasm talking, acted as if I were just something that went along while a language, a world, unfolded."

That's interesting..

The rest are also from this book.. Enjoy!

In the beginning a marked tendency simply to act insane will be noticed in the individual demostrator. The mere fact that he is naked will cause him to want to hide in the norm of insanity. But as soon as he touches the other demostrators and they roll each other in the snow or in feelings and get up and pair off and dance and formulate their expressions freely - flowers in their hair and dirt and grass all over them - he will understand that it is a kind of insanity to act as if the individual exists. It is this understanding that must of necessity be disciplined. In order to keep the movement soft at all times, the individual must be hard on himself. Insanity is the ability to do the impossible. Magic is the will to."

Eccentric attempts
when a man
steps out of himself
steps out of
his daily life
his function
his situation
steps out of
his habits
his peaceful
condition
we call the process
ecstasy
when he claims
that the clouds
shoot by like pain...

It starts
It starts again
It starts in me
It starts in the world
It starts in world after world
It starts far beyond the world
...
and there is nothing to do but to say it as it is

What's written is always something else
And what's descibed is something else again
Between them lies the undescribed
Which as soon as it's described
Opens up new undescribed areas
It's indescribable
Even though darkness is defined by light
And light by darkness
Something's always left out
And even if this something is "defined"
as fazed gardens
behind iron fencing that grows
the logic is always left
And even though the logic is not defined
but concealed beneath layers of gardens
painted from garden to garden
there's still a restlessness left
a despair
a pulse with no body
This is a criticism of the body
because it's a criticism of life.

That's all for now.. My body's aching coz I just knocked off work at 11pm.. But interesting stuff like these can still keep me up at night.. Well, I'll leave the above for you to interpret in whichever way you like! Poems are nice coz you can think of many possible interpretations.. I'll be back with more next time

write about yourself here like how you lived through a crisis like the morrocian crisis. erps, have you studied about that before and about your test, how easy it is and how much confidence you have to pass and get all A1s for all subjects, add in your own wish here, and what you would do if target is not reached, like slash your wrist, eat many many painkiller pills at one shot and die. lol it's suicidal thoughts. stay away from that. but you need to enter a reality, everyone's doing that- it's the trend, so why not follow it. unless you want to be an odd one out. cause slashing wrist is soo common in girls school not in boys school. boys suicide, just like die gracefully from 30th storey, just look on the bright side, maybe you have lived in a lie too long and so you have found out the turth now, just think. optimist wins. you have entered into a world of reality



We know life's hard, truth is hard, lies are hard, they are all hard to accept when they have been found out, and i'm rushing history homework on the Abyissian Crisis about Italy and Abyssia going into war and that the League Of Nations cannot stop this from happening, and beacuse they are formed by means to stop war and peace-keep the countries together, they have thus failed to achieve that. I think i tend to hold a class for history instead of telling you about me, i'm basically a what subject-realted lover (humanities) and thus I am more analytical and critical about things, and likes to study about dead people, haha. lol. it's history what can you expect and also geography, it amazes me. I really like it alot, so what have you? Again to find this answer you need to enter into your own reality and reflect




it's amazing. amzing how people change the way of things, like how I used to hate outdoors in Band felt it was a complete waste of time, i've acquired to like it more, i guess people change, their thereotical means and applications in life just goes on into a new direction, and see things in another perspective, i guess- it's all in the mind. It really amazes me how these comes into action, from someone so pessimistic has changed his own view of things, and thus my friend is scoring much better, being more optimisitc and not think of his old way of suicidal thoughts, which are pretty daunting. and thus we need to see things, in another light, another perspective and another new way, to enable us to open up our minds, and make more new things, the new way it is. done with the old back with the new

i've hiatus-ed.
