a fool in the forest

Epigraphs

  • A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the
        forest,
    A motley fool; a miserable world!
    As I do live by food, I met a fool
    Who laid him down and bask'd him
        in the sun,
    And rail'd on Lady Fortune in good
        terms,
    In good set terms and yet a motley
        fool.

    As You Like It,
    Act II, Scene 7

    L'homme y passe à travers des
        forêts de symboles
    Qui l'observent avec des regards
        familiers.

    Les Fleurs du Mal,
    “Correspondances”

    [T]here is almost no subject-matter, and what little one can disentangle is foolish....
    One would call the style verbose, except that by definition verbosity is the use of words in excess of the occasion, and there seems to be no occasion.

    Yvor Winters,
    Forms of Discovery, Ch. 7

Drive-In Saturday:
Feed the Kitty

This is something a summer repeat, because I already highlighted it two years ago: "Tyger," conceived and directed by Brazilian filmmaker Guilherme Marcondes.  Inspired by William Blake, puppetized, percussed, animated, and urbanized, to impressive effect:

Addenda:

  • More information on the film and its making, as well as large and lovely downloadable Quicktime versions, can be had from the official TYGER website. 
  • The pulsing, pounding, growling musical score is by ZEROUM -- paulistanos under the influence of High Krautrock (Faust, Neu, Magma, Can, etc.) -- and can be downloaded on its own via that link to the ensemble's MySpace page.  Or, heck! you might as well just get it here:

And here is William Blake's own vision of his tyger:
