V. Entoilage marouflé

 

Staggering thoughts, before take-off were of leaving sufficient mailing labels—Oil of marjoram
For the vaporizer in the checked baggage; given the faulty impression of bled air from the compressors
As filthy, while Little Bear’s arrhythmia that sometime woke him; an index of cardiac vagal activity,
Developed from not hibernating—A paw reexamined the lined plastic, rather than ground glass of five Lalique
Designs used by Molinard; asleep, but retaking proportions of the counterfeit brought into the shop
That morning—Edith, who had detoured to look into the platform and mezzanine transit hall of Calatrava’s

Budget-burgeoned WTC PATH terminal; in its clipped version, no longer a bird, but an experience of shadowCalatrava’s
Expo 98, Lisbon, servicing three-times the traffic, debuted a salt corrosion resistant canopy of Dow Corning 797—Alternatives to the nearby double plunge pools; they submitted marjoram,
Twisted, before the torch ever existed, in the early days, from the weddings and graves of Classical couples, where thoughts usually inclined before the fireplace, in this last among shops
Of preemptive ticking for online refurbishment—Torque is le couple, as Little Bear regarded it, while among the warm compressors
Of office buildings; the forgotten penthouses up top requiring estimates for consignment—Fountains limed by the grit of municipal water, and runoff from the activity
Of the white marble conduit New York to New Jersey, with a full-time staff to accelerate the abrasion with chemicals—Picturing pinning in the just-finished wings of plique-à-jour dragonfly Lalique

Fashioned for Calouste Gulbenkian (1903)—Little Bear bowed to the Encre Noire limited edition fragrance and flaçon (2006)—Maison Lalique’s
Two input, output and transfer characteristics, of black boxes, made a more fitting tribute than Calatrava's
Skeletal remains, or Libeskind's torment further from a rill running over with their loved ones names—Although felted; Helenchen, shortened to Lenci, when he could not feel her radioactivity
From his jointed arms, put his gutta-percha nose on her neck—Alloyed, or turning bodies, not entwined into a hangman’s rope; undermined by stirrings toward accuracy—Marjoram
Will just be coming into flower, in July, he offered—Absent of the comparative bitterness with clarity life should have taken viewing the Musée du Luxembourg exhibit—The apprentice of Louis Aucoc’s shop
Seeing faces in apple jade or moonstone, as acid drops of newly blown spray in an oily drain, which were seldom apterous—Multiple compressors

Exorcising Sarah Bernhardt and Madame Chrysanthème (1887)—Off the Gare do Oriente concourse, minus the modern train’s brake compressors,
Plate-glass handrails likened to the backscatter of diffused algae—Bica and egg tarts, before going outside to see Lalique’s
Nanking chandelier outspread on the roof, from the earlier Mosteiro dos Jerónimos—Some pretenses, unawareness, of shared margin notes; were they interjected by the shop
Assistants or bookkeeper (?)—Gulbenkian wrested from the Hermitage the Flemish master’s Hélène Fourment (1638); prizing the passion the artist found in his wife, with a field applied to her ostrich plume; this page was dog-eared—Calatrava’s
Incidence of the Sun that day, in steel reinforcement and layers of grout, buckled in the engineer’s plans—While it followed that Little Bear’s activity
Of the White House Christmas card (1963) became unhurried beyond confirmations of a wide-angled periscope; Edith’s breathing condensed the window, now, with tears—The balcony’s golden marjoram,

A fallen bough of the Aeneid’s mistletoe, just shorn from lines of the floating world of Sûgakudô, the canary with veined magnolias (1859)—Marjoram,
Depending on the climate in which it is grown, whorls in this content—Edith and Little Bear, wrapped in the interminable Christmas muffler, or dusted in flour, with the king-sized utensils—Were they compression
Fossils of early worms in the concrete foundation of the prairie house of Museu Gulbenkian; soundless, this afternoon, but for the activity
Of waterfowl beyond its seated collector with Horus, the child—Turner’s mascaret, the tidal bore that surrounds the lookout at the mouth of the Seine (1833); René Lalique’s
Peacock pectoral (1900) places in this trough, a moment in time, among a spray of diamonds— Discontinuing to work in precious gems; commissions in Samuel Bing’s shop
Catered to non-heiresses, his vitrine for L’Exposition Universelle of 1900 is noted for the five femmes ailées with a loose weave, to pin the broaches—Calatrava’s

El Alamillo Bridge, for the Seville Expo (1992); less precious, for not being taken in miniature, counterpoised by Calatrava’s
Single pylon, as a brutalist's teardrop lyre—Not lacking in vision; the later works, cost-run into the billions, lack the transformation of coarse materials, the marjoram
Of bouquet garni—Taking in the Deianira and Nessus inkstand (1903) fired by Lalique’s father-in-law, in the foundry used by Rodin, Little Bear is pulled from shop
Talk to the Meeting Point, by Edith—Rembrandt’s Portrait of an Old Man (1645) and Paula Rego’s Time Past and Present (1990), which is the only exhibit with wide-eyed children, whose sitter attends once again to a chastising nun and aerial côco above the bassinet—Compressions
Of The Lonely Doll editions—Vasco da Gama’s coconuts; their nacreous eggs only known from bristled shadows flung from these eaux d’artifices—The official activity
Edith considered leaving, Little Bear held as the soul of temperance, and then, he grasps this picture of her with a straw hat beckoning to the most westerly Sintra beach; sand was Lalique’s

Chosen medium for this longing for saltwater—Lalique’s moderns and antiquities; to a lesser extent, Calatrava’s stations,
For all that we cannot brand, of a child releasing a bird—Edith, the heart of activity, is picking marjoram from a kitchen garden, on this Wednesday’s bespoke element of water—To suit her, Little Bear focuses the mirror of his efforts
Just picking up, after compressions into assessments, canvassing for Parian or lacquerware, at last, leaving the shop of another decade—

"For Abel Leplastrier had been given, in John Bell's letter, an annotated index to the event he had just witnessed. The glass was by way of being a symbol of weakness and strength; it was a cipher for someone else's heart. It was a confession, an accusation, a cry of pain. It was for this he wept.

Lucinda was moved by something more simple—grief that such a lovely thing could vanish like a pricked balloon. But her feelings were not unlayered and there was, mixed with that hard slap of disappointment, a deeper, more nourishing emotion: wonder.

[...]

Fireworks made of glass. An explosion of dew. Crescendo. Diminuendo. Silence.

There are drugs that work the same, and while I am not suggesting that our founder purchased the glassworks to get more drops, it is clear that she had the seed planted, not once, but twice, and knew already the lovely contradictory nature of glass and she did not have to be told, on the day she saw the works at Darling Harbour, that glass is a thing in disguise, an actor, is not solid at all, but a liquid, that an old sheet of glass will not only take on a royal and purplish tinge but will reveal its true liquid nature by having grown fatter at the bottom and thinner at the top, and that while even while it is as frail as the ice on a Parramatta puddle, it is stronger under compression than Sydney sandstone, that is is invisible, solid, in short, a joyous and paradoxical thing, as good a material as any to build a life from."

— Pages 110-111 of the first Vintage edition (1997) of Peter Carey's Oscar and Lucinda (1988)

The shop I had mentioned was intended to mean that one cannot take an inventory of precedents without applying oneself to creation. On my thirtieth birthday, I wanted to give greater emphasis on learning and refining visual techniques, not that I suggest leaving.

This figure, which is transformed into a seated Isis with Horus votary statue in Exercise 46, was conceived by Lalique's protegé, Gaston Lachaise. It is only natural that a copy would be in the Putnam collection, and I recognized his work from the Eames study.

Our duo, Edith and Little Bear, will visit here, after reading The Magic Mountain, and hearing about Erika and Klaus Mann. Although the subtext of some of the biographies is sad, I want to read the imagined world construed between the siblings and also, to explore the meaning behind staying in a sanatorium for seven years when despair or banality might compel lesser initiates to depart. Like searching for the Nabokovs in Montreux...

"Same Time Tomorrow" from Bright Red (1994) contains a line from George Herbert.

The works of Lourdes Castro (b.1930) illuminate the shadow.

Yes, we embedded Wednesday, which the is the water day in Japanese. Thank you, for reminding me. I am going to insert the evidence among the water features at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, here.

Hunnan's Jiànshuǐ 建水 purple ceramics might figure. If I am correct, then Jiàn is to see, and shuǐ is water. This ceramic class was most favored during the Qing dynasty for a fermented tea from Puer (pǔ ěr普洱), which is grown one degree from the Tropic of Cancer.

I remember this fantastic collaboration by The 6ths, Hyacinths and Thistles (2000), and it contains several gems I remember then, as I do now. Perilously romantic, but nice for April.

The record shop in Berlin, Momox, is being relieved of these albums one by one.*

Yes, I always accepted in the back of my mind that after that spell of being self-employed during the Recession, and feeling useless, I would have the opportunity and the obligation to the ones I love to work and make up the for time in my early earning years.

Yes, I contemplate two professions, now, to make up for the delayed start. I am open to advice. After intro to financial and managerial accounting, I could build on this knowledge base.

From a Little Free Library, I am swapping The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey for this, a potential opening for Edith and Little Bear:
