Norm
MalBalzac, Courbet and Joyce, Cezanne.
Balzac, dressing-gowned, moustache penner,
championed what I know not.
Whatever it was, it still is.
It was the same with Courbet.
Painter to the ordinary - no ordinary painter.
On a level footing the two find themselves.
They may not have found themselves.
They found themselves.
Only Art and Drama.
It can have been no other way.
No matter how you weigh,
it was a little curse and a blessing.
Joyce, James of course, stands
In trousers - no gown thanks.
Opposite Balzac his work sits.
Not what the words depict
But the words themselves.
Like Cezanne, it's not so much what
But how.
Like Balzac and Joyce,
So too Courbet and Cezanne.
It's a real boar - reality.
An absolute pig of a thing.
Hunting I love but love? I laugh to score.
It's not for everyone...
To care for things long since gone.
Necromance novellist.
Can't you see that you will be one day?
Gone like your wind.
I don't care that you don't care.
Before I turn to serious,
I'll leave in a cloud
Of my own ommissions.
Balzac and Joyce: opposite.
Balzac and Courbet: equal.

Cezanne and Joyce: equal.

On the other hand, being gowned is infinitely preferable to being pantsed, which would be a blatant case of overexposure.
Unless, of course, it were a windy day; then I imagine that being gowned or pantsed would fall into the "equal" category.
What are your thoughts on this?

You will of course note the very famous photo of Joyce with his hands in his pockets. Yet another means of getting to the source of his own creativity.
On being pantsed, I can only offer you this: you'd better hope one was wearing undergarmentry. Of which, sadly, history has little to say.
Cheers.

Bless your wit, Norm. If you and Damo weren't here, I'd have gone when David left.
