from Canto CXV
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
–Ezra Pound

Now that right there is funny! I don’t care who you are.
Bwahahahaaaaa!!! DAMM FUNNY!!!
News. Sheeeeeeit.
IIRC, Dan Rather got his big break covering a hurricane for a CBS affiliate in the 1960s. So Danny Boy II here is part of a great fake news tradition.
This, is CNN.
The office chair is a good one.
Dan actually covered Camille, in Texas as a local reporter, and didn’t fake that.
It was only later on he started his fabulism.
