Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
Gerard Van der Leun
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
For the disrobed faceless forms of no position
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
All down in taken-for-granted situations
Tolling for the deaf an’ blind, tolling for the mute
Tolling for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an’ cheated by pursuit
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
An’ the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
An’ for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
— Bob Dylan
Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers
Reason will not decide at last; the sword will decide.
The sword: an obsolete instrument of bronze or steel,
formerly used to kill men, but here
In the sense of a symbol. The sword: that is: the storms
and counter-storms of general destruction; killing
of men,
Destruction of all goods and materials; massacre, more or
less intentional, of children and women;
Destruction poured down from wings, the air made accomplice,
the innocent air
Perverted into assassin and poisoner.
The sword: that is: treachery and cowardice, incredible
baseness, incredible courage, loyalties, insanities.
The sword: weeping and despair, mass-enslavement,
mass-torture, frustration of all hopes
That starred man’s forehead. Tyranny for freedom, horror for
happiness, famine for bread, carrion for children.
Reason will not decide at last, the sword will decide.
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
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.

10 to 1 that Clinton’s gonorrhea flared up.
Eddie and the Cruisers-
Watched for the saxophone only. Excellent sax, odd racket from lead vocal.
GV, NYC.

That nitwit talking about that crib was overcome by envy.

Yeah, really, I saw that too and wondered WTF?
One earring?
The other dood wasn’t much better.
2 gamma’s pretending they ain’t losers.
The interplanetary spacecraft video was well done. I worked on the Voyager and New Horizons missions. Voyager was particularly challenging. We were doing many things for the first time.
Stargazer, I am envious! I still remember reading in 2006 (quite moved to tears) when Voyager 1 passed the 100 AU mark in its journey, still functioning, still communicating, after almost 30 years. I followed New Horizons through construction, launch, its eight years of flight, and finally the hair-raising flyby of Pluto.
I am thankful to have been alive to see these things.
My father helped run the Goldstone DSN. He retired in 1992… but I remember all the photo books he was gifted for the work on tracking the Voyager, and Pioneer probes. Very cool to be a part of something so fundamentally American and human.
Always liked the song. Clearly parroting Springsteen, complete with the saxophone, sleeveless shirt, posture, and vocal style.
What to do about a dirty driveway is the ultimate 1st world problem. Not only do Americans pour drinking water on our lawns, and use it to flush toilets, we also use it to spray off bird shit off our driveway.
But… but… we’re not evil. We’re just piped that way.
You want genocide? I’ll give you some genocide!
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”—1 Samuel 15:2–3
Such slaughter would cause even an Assyrian king to take note. But they were no shrinking violets themselves:
“I felled 50 of their fighting men with the sword, burnt 200 captives from them, [and] defeated in a battle on the plain 332 troops…With their blood I dyed the mountain red like red wool, [and] the rest of them the ravines [and] torrents of the mountain swallowed. I carried off captives [and] possessions from them. I cut off the heads of their fighters [and] built [therewith] a tower before their city. I burnt their adolescent boys [and] girls…In strife and conflict I besieged [and] conquered the city. I felled 3,000 of their fighting men with the sword … I captured many troops alive: I cut off of some their arms [and] hands; I cut off of others their noses, ears, [and] extremities. I gouged out the eyes of
many troops. I made one pile of the living [and] one of heads. I hung their heads on trees
around the city.”—Ashurnasirpal (883–859 B.C)
Let us not forget Genghis Khan (1155 – 1227):
“The worst thing that Genghis Khan is significant for is the deaths of about 40 million people. Throughout his conquests, Genghis employed a policy of severe cruelty if an enemy did not surrender immediately. This cruelty lead to the complete extermination of cities, meaning the executing of every man, woman, child, and even animals. There are some regions that were at the height of their civilization when the Mongols arrived, and after they left were mere wastelands. Some historians believe that there are some areas that never fully recovered from Genghis’s invasions.”
Tamerlane (1336 – 1405) killed 17 million people—5 percent of the world’s population. On his sarcophagus is written:
“When I Rise From the Dead, The World Shall Tremble.”
Joseph Stalin admired Tamerlane—but of course.
Genocide is as old as man. It will only disappear when this world ends.
