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 shadow—Calatrava’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)

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.

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.

"Jacob, the third patriarch is associated with Gimmel, the third letter. In contrast to Isaac, who never left the land of Israel, Jacob spent most of his life in exile traveling on camels. He had to measure himself against the hard reality of work, the responsibilities of caring for his large family, 12 children at the outset and eventually the 70 souls with whom he descended into Egypt to save them from famine. Jacob's perception of divinity took place in a world where work, trials, and struggle against difficulties were an integral part of spiritual growth.

Sefer Yetzirah associates the Gimmel with Mars, the planet of strength and war, also associating the letter with the gift of wealth. The conquest of wealth is not only a material goal. If we want to become a Gomel Chasadim, one who performs works of charity, thus obeying one of the tenets of Judaism, we must learn to earn and support ourselves through honest labor in the vocation that corresponds to the spiritual root and characteristics of our soul."

A mixture of where we are now: reproduced for educational purposes only. I excerpt this here for one person to read, one reader.

The ArtScroll Mesorah Series Rosh Hashanah by Rabbi Nosson Scherman and Rabbi Meir Zlotowitz (Tammuz 5743 / June1983):

"Man's importance is not in his physical strength—any number of animals can outfight him; even an ant is relatively stronger than man. Nor is man unique in his spiritual perception, which cannot compare to that of the angels. Man's greatness is in his power of choice. Because he can deny God, man's recognition of His sovereignty has value. That is why the sixth day was the climax of Creation, and why its anniversary is Rosh Hashanah

This explains why Rosh Hashanah is day of judgment. Any intelligent plan must be evaluated from time to time to see how well it has succeeded, whether the individual actors have carried out the roles assigned them, and whether its goal is being realized. Since it was God's desire that man proclaim Him King, He chose the anniversary of the day when it all began to review the results of the previous year and determine how to proceed in the next (20)."

"The judgment looks in two directions, at the past and at the future. During the past year, each man and woman had it in his ability to add in some degree to God's sovereignty. People with power and influence could have influenced multitudes, the humblest folk could have accomplished little more than improve themselves or make a slight change in the behavior or faith of a few close friends and relatives. [...] The judgment of Rosh Hashanah determines what each individual can be expected to contribute. If he has something to offer, he is alive and brilliant. If not, though he may be living and breathing and exercising authority over many employees and associates, he has no life in terms of the Divine Scheme (21)."

From Bee Wilson's The Heart-Shaped Tin: Love, Loss and Kitchen Objects (2025):

"Giving gifts—unlike paying taxes—looks voluntary. But it can actually be a costly duty, not least at weddings. In his groundbreaking work, The Gift, the French theorist Marcel Mauss (an assimilated Jew) laid out the ways in which ceremonial gift-giving, particularly in Polynesia, becomes part of a vast cycle of social exchange which places strong obligations both on those who receive as well as those who give. Mauss writes of the three obligations: 'To give (donner), to receive (recevoir), to make a return (rendre).'

The name Mauss give to this system of giving and receiving is the 'potlatch'. When it comes to the ritual gift-giving of the potlatch, there are no free gifts. In Mauss's observation there was something almost 'magical' about a gift, because the giver is actually donating a part of themselves, an act which creates a social bond with strong obligations to reciprocate. Through the gift, the giver retains a 'hold over the recipient.' In numerous societies, Mauss found that to refuse either to give or to receive a gift was 'tantamount to declaring a war' because it was a rejection of 'the bond of alliance and communality' (210)."

Bee Wilson also mentions the Australian woman's trousseau, the Ginger Rogers or Judy Garland Glory Box, which is a must read. She despoils the story of the Spode Willow Pattern plate from 1790 on page 220, but the myth is persistent sufficiently to be buried with people about the lovers who turn into birds on the bridge, in Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries.

Mrs Bridge (1959) by Evan Connell, Chapter 88. The Rich and Poor:

"Aside from the mechanical difficulties there was always the parking problem; she had been amazed and impressed with the way the chauffeurs could park the Lincoln, and now that she was again on her own she was ever more conscious of her inadequacy. Douglas, inadvertantly, made the situation worse. A few days after taking up the study of geometry he began to measure everything. In his pocket he carried a carpenter's flexible steel tape, a compass, and a scratch pad, and he was obsessed by a desire to calculate all such things as the number of cubic feet in the attic, the radius of the mahogany dining-room table if it had been circular instead of elliptical, and the angle formed by the sofa and the fireplace. Among other things he measured the chimney, the back porch, the stove, and the wicker laundry basket, and one evening he announced that the pantry was almost exactly two cubic feet smaller than the Lincoln. The next time she tried to park the car she was reminded of his calculations. She pulled on one side of the steering wheel with both hands, backed up a few feet, pulled on the opposite side of the wheel, moved forward, backed up, and so on, gasping for breath in her efforts to maneuver the formidable machine, and she was not assisted by the knowledge that it would have been easier to park the pantry (182)."

This passage from Mrs. Bridge speaks to me, "not assisted by the knowledge" of the logical, measured world. No arguments for or against helplessness. Someone like me would spot the shell casing in the shag carpet, but the room's measurements for the CAD projection are doable but best left to someone else.

There is a three-legged deer in my front yard, whose appendage is completely gone from a dog bite inflicted by the weimaraner across the street or a near vehicle collision, and she is an écorché figure employing every muscle she has to eat at the birdfeeder. Her deer family watch her fawn, the juvenile males, especially, so she can eat.,
