@@@@@Whenever Hearn had to search his ideas he @@@@@Whenever Hearn had to search his ideas he was obviously uncomfortable, obviously trying to avoid the other conclusions Hearn seemed absorbed for just a moment"We're moving toward greater organization, and I don't see how the left can win that battle in AmericaThere're times when I think it's Gandhi who's right Cummings laughed out loud"You know you couldn't have picked a more unperceptive manPassive resistance, ehYou'd be good in that roleYou and Clellan and Gandhi Hearn sat up a little straighter in his chairThe noon sun, harsh now that the overcast had blown away, glinted cruelly over the bivouac, threw into bold relief the shadows under the flaps of the tentAbout a hundred yards away, on a downhill slope through the sparse foliage, Cummings watched the chow line, two hundred and fifty men long, trudge slowly forward "It seems to me," Hearn said, "Clellan's more in your lineAnd while we're on that you might tell him that the flowers are your idea Cummings laughed againThat had taken effect thenHe opened his eyes widely, conscious of the effect their bald white surfaces would give, and then he slapped his thigh in a facsimile of mirth"Are you getting enough liquor, Robert?" Of course, that was why he had crushed the cigarette on the floor Hearn made no answer, but his jaws quivered just perceptibly Cummings sat back, enjoying himself"We're wandering a little far afieldI was going to explain the war to you "Yes, if you would Hearn's sharp voice, slightly unpleasant, was exhibiting the least bit of irritation "I like to call it a process of historical energy | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 11:02 am |

The Time Machine: WOODROW WILSON THE INVINCIBLE
He was a big man about thirty with a fine mane of golden-brown hair and a healthy ruddy spacious face whose large features were formed cleanlyIncongruously, he wore a pair of round silver-rimmed glasses which gave him at first glance a studious or, at least, a methodical appearance"With all the gals Ah've had, Ah'll never forget that little old piece," he said, wiping the back of his hand against his high sculptured forehead, sliding it up over his golden pompadour
Clichés like lazy decadence, death and disease, monotony and violence, well up in your mindThe main street has assumed its tawdry prosperity with discomfort; it is hot and packed with people and the stores are small and dirtyLanguid and feverish, the girls walk by on thin legs, with painted faces, staring at the movie houses with gaudy placards, picking at the sore on their chin, squinting with their pale insolent eyes as the sun glares on the dirty asphalt and models the dust-filled pores of the trampled papers underfoot A hundred yards away the back streets are green and lovely, and the foliage of the trees meets overheadThe houses are old and pleasant; you cross a bridge and look down on a tiny stream winding and twisting gently over some soft rounded rocks; there are the sounds of things growing and the soughing of the leaves in the swollen torpid May breezeA little farther on, there is always the small rotting mansion with its broken shutters, its peeling columns, and the dull black-gray of its walls like a tooth after the nerve has been killedThe mansion alters the loveliness of the streets, limns it with darker mortal lines The grass enclosure in the center of the town square is deserted, and the statue of General Jackson stands on its pedestal and looks with calculation at the cannon balls pyramided in cement, the old cannon whose breech is missingBehind him the Negro quarter stretches out along the sandy roads into the farm lands There, in the black ghetto, the shacks and two-room shanties sag on their stilts, the wood dry and splintered and dead, the rats and roaches scurrying across the sapless planksEverything withers in the heat Toward the end, almost out in the country, the poor whites live in similar huts, hoping to graduate to the other side of town where the shoe clerks and the bank tellers and the mill foremen live in cubical houses along rigid streets where the trees are not old enough to cover the sky Over it all hangs the torpid sullen breeze of May, stifling in the late spring
Some people feel only the heatWoodrow Wilson, almost sixteen, sprawls on a log along the sandy road, and drowses in the sunHis loins are warm and a lazy delight drifts along his bodyIn a couple hours Ah'll go see Sally AnnWarm smells, the image of teat and female pubes, tickle his nose with passionAh, man, Ah wish this here evenin' was overA man'll melt in the sun thinkin' about nookieHe sighs, moves his legs leisu | | Monday, December 27th, 2010 | | 11:02 am |
@@@@@Even the magnificent
houses that made @@@@@Even the magnificent houses that made Charleston's Battery world-famous were to her just houses However there was something about the severe beauty of Julia Ashley's house at Ashley Barony that she recognized as different from anything she'd ever known and grand in a way she couldn't defineIt sat isolated in broad stretches of grass unadorned with garden, distant from the ancient huge live oak trees that were wide-spaced sentinels at the perimeter of the lawnSquare, made of brick with white-framed door and windows, the house was-"special," Scarlett whisperedNo wonder that it alone of all the plantations on the river had been spared the torches of Sherman's ArmyEven the Yankees wouldn't dare insult the mighty presence before her eyesThere was a sound of laughter, followed by singingScarlett turned her headThe house awed and intimidated herFar to her left she saw expanses of strong insistent green completely different from the familiar deep rich color of the grassDozens of black men and women were working and singing in the strange green Why, they're field hands, tending the crop of whatever it isSo many of them, tooHer mind flew to the cotton fields at Tara that had once stretched as far as she could see, just as this strident green flowed without bounds along the riverOh, yes, Rosemary's rightThis is a real plantation, like a plantation's meant to be Nothing was burned, nothing was changed, nothing would ever change Time itself respected the majesty of Ashley Barony"It's good of you to meet with me, Miss Ashley," said RhettHe bowed over the hand Julia Ashley held out to him; the back of his ungloved hand supported it respectfully, and his lips stopped the prescribed inch above it, for no gentleman would commit the impertinence of actually kissing the hand of a maiden lady, no matter how advanced her years"It's useful to us both, Mr "You're miserably ill-groomed as usual, Rosemary, but I'm glad to see youIntroduce your sister-in-law My grief, she really is a dragon, Scarlett thought nervouslyI wonder if she expects me to curtsey?

wife from the @@@@@The well-dressed man and wife from the Italian embassy were nowhere in sight Sergei suddenly rushed forward, his weapon on auto fire; in a rear corner of the room he had spotted a figure whom Bourne had not seenThe stocking-faced killer sprang out of the shadows, his machine swinging into position, but before he could exercise his advantage, the Soviet cut him downAnother! A body lurching behind the short counter that served as a barWas it the Jackal? Jason pivoted into the diagonal wall, crouching, his eyes darting into every recess in the vicinity of the wine racksHe lunged to the base of the bar as the second Russian backup, assessing the situation, ran to the hysterical women, spinning around, his gun swinging back and forth protecting themThe stocking-faced head shot up from behind the counter, his weapon surging out over the woodBourne sprang to his feet, gripping the hot barrel with his left hand, his right commanding the AK-47; he fired point-blank into the terrorist’s contorted face beyond the silk Where was the Jackal? “In there!” shouted Sergei as if he had heard Jason’s furious question Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 321 “Where?” “Those doors!” It was the country restaurant’s kitchenBoth men converged on the swinging doorsAgain Bourne nodded, the signal for them to crash inside, but before they could move, both were partially blown back by an explosion from within; a grenade had been set off, with fragments of metal and glass embedded in the doorsThe smoke billowed, wafting out into the dining room; the smell was acrid, sickening Jason and Sergei once more approached the kitchen’s entrance, and once again they were stopped by a second sudden explosion followed by staccato gunfire, the bullets piercing the thin, louvered panels of the swinging doors It was too much for the furious, impassioned ChameleonHe cracked the bolt of his AK-47, pulled the selective lever and then the trigger for auto fire, and crashed the doors open, lunging for the floor Another scene from another hellA section of the outside wall had been blown away, the obese owner and his chef, still wearing his toque, were dead, corpses pinned against the lower shelves of the kitchen, blood streaming across and down the wood Bourne slowly rose to his feet, his legs in agony, every nerve in his body frayed, the edge of hysteria not far awayAs if in a trance, he looked around through the smoke and the debris, his eyes finally settling on a large, ominous fragment of brown butcher’s paper nailed to the wall with a heavy cleaverHe approached it and, yanking out the cleaver, read the words printed in a black butcher’s pencil: The trees of Tannenbaum will burn and children will be the kindlingSleep well, Jason Bourne The mirrors of his life were shattered into a thousand pieces of glassThere was nothing else to do but scream Robert Ludlum ??

And without attempting any farther @@@@@ And without attempting any farther remonstrance, she left Fanny to her fate, a fate which, had not Fanny’s heart been guarded in a way unsuspected by Miss Crawford, might have been a little harder than she deserved; for although there doubtless are such unconquerable young ladies of eighteen (or one should not read about them) as are never to be persuaded into love against their judgment by all that talent, manner, attention, and flattery can do, I have no inclination to believe Fanny one of them, or to think that with so much tenderness of disposition, and so much taste as belonged to her, she could have escaped heart-whole from the courtship (though the courtship only of a fortnight) of such a man as Crawford, in spite of there being some previous ill opinion of him to be overcome, had not her affection been engaged elsewhereWith all the security which love of another and disesteem of him could give to the peace of mind he was attacking, his continued attentions—continued, but not obtrusive, and adapting themselves more and more to the gentleness and delicacy of her character—obliged her very soon to dislike him less than formerlyShe had by no means forgotten the past, and she thought as ill of him as ever; but she felt his powers: he was entertaining; and his manners were so improved, so polite, so seriously and blamelessly polite, that it was impossible not to be civil to him in return A very few days were enough to effect this; and at the end of those few days, circumstances arose which had a tendency rather to forward his views of pleasing her, inasmuch as they gave her a degree of happiness which must dispose her to be pleased with everybody William, her brother, the so long absent and dearly loved brother, was in England againShe had a letter from him herself, a few hurried happy lines, written as the ship came up Channel, and sent 201 Jane Austen into Portsmouth with the first boat that left the Antwerp at anchor in Spithead; and when Crawford walked up with the newspaper in his hand, which he had hoped would bring the first tidings, he found her trembling with joy over this letter, and listening with a glowing, grateful countenance to the kind invitation which her uncle was most collectedly dictating in reply It was but the day before that Crawford had made himself thoroughly master of the subject, or had in fact become at all aware of her having such a brother, or his being in such a ship, but the interest then excited had been very properly lively, determining him on his return to town to apply for information as to the probable period of the Antwerp’s return from the Mediterranean, etc and the good luck which attended his early examination of ship news the next morning seemed the reward of his ingenuity in finding out such a method of pleasing her, as well as of his dutiful attention to the Admiral, in having for many years taken in the paper esteemed to have the earliest naval intelligenceHe proved, however, to be too lateAll those fine first feelings, of which he had hoped to be the exciter, were already givenBut his intention, the kindness of his intention, was thankfully acknowledged: quite thankfully and warmly, for she was elevated beyond the common timidity of her mind by the flow of her love for William This dear William would soon be amongst themThere could be no doubt of his obtaining leave of absence immediately, for he was still only a midshipman; and as his parents, from living on the spot, must already have seen him, and be seeing him perhaps daily, his direct holidays might with justice be instantly given to the sister, who had been his best correspondent through a period of seven years, and the uncle who had done most for his support and advancement; and accordingly the reply to her reply, fixing a very early day for his arrival, came as soon as possible; and scarcely ten days had passed since Fanny had been in the agitation of her first dinnervisit, when she found herself in an agitation of a higher nature, watching in the hall, in the lobby, on the stairs, for the first sound of the carriage which was to bring her a brother It came happily while she was thus waiting; and there being neither ceremony nor fearfulness to delay the moment of meeting, she was 202 Mansfield Park with him as he entered the house, and the first minutes of exquisite feeling had no interruption and no witnesses, unless the servants chiefly intent upon opening the proper doors could be called suchThis was exactly what Sir Thomas and Edmund had been separately conniving at, as each proved to the other by the sympathetic alacrity with which they both advised MrsNorris’s continuing where she was, instead of rushing out into the hall as soon as the noises of the arrival reached them William and Fanny soon shewed themselves; and Sir Thomas had the pleasure of receiving, in his protege, certainly a very different person from the one he had equipped seven years ago, but a young man of an open, pleasant countenance, and frank, unstudied, but feeling and respectful manners, and such as confirmed him his friend It was long before Fanny could recover from the agitating happiness of such an hour as was formed by the last thirty minutes of expectation, and the first of fruition; it was some time even before her happiness could be said to make her happy, before the disappointment inseparable from the alteration of person had vanished, and she could see in him the same William as before, and talk to him, as her heart had been yearning to do through many a past year That time, however, did gradually come, forwarded by an affection on his side as warm as her own, and much less encumbered by refinement or self-distrustShe was the first object of his love, but it was a love which his stronger spirits, and bolder temper, made it as natural for him to express as to feelOn the morrow they were walking about together with true enjoyment, and every succeeding morrow renewed a tete-a-tete which Sir Thomas could not but observe with complacency, even before Edmund had pointed it out to him Excepting the moments of peculiar delight, which any marked or unlooked-for instance of Edmund’s consideration of her in the last few months had excited, Fanny had never known so much felicity in her life, as in this unchecked, equal, fearless intercourse with the brother and friend who was opening all his heart to her, telling her all his hopes and fears, plans, and solicitudes respecting that long thought of, dearly earned, and justly valued blessing of promotion; who could give her direct and minute information of the father and mother, brothers and sisters, of whom she very seldom heard; who 203 Jane Austen was interested in all the comforts and all the little hardships of her home at Mansfield; ready to think of every member of that home as she directed, or differing only by a less scrupulous opinion, and more noisy abuse of their aunt Norris, and with whom (perhaps the dearest indulgence of the whole) all the evil and good of their earliest years could be gone over again, and every former united pain and pleasure retraced with the fondest recollectionAn advantage this, a strengthener of love, in which even the conjugal tie is beneath the fraternalChildren of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connexions can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connexion can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlivedToo often, alas! it is so | | Saturday, December 11th, 2010 | | 11:35 am |
