Les Bulletins d'un Grand Enthusiast #2 - May Day

May 2nd 2012 - May Day



Pis-en-Lit: The author is pleased to report that the dandelions are gathering in full force. He candidly admits that he has for a longtime held closeted pro-weed sentiments ; starting today he will stand by them in public solidarity, and will hopefully not trample too many in doing so.

The Future: Is still unpredictable, last time the author checked.

Novelty: When advice is given to him, the author, on rare occasions, will follow it... for the novelty of the thing.

Ebriosus: The author heard himself saying in conversation that when he is drunk, he adopts “completely the opposite personality” to his own. On reflection, he wonders about the order of causation regarding drunkeness and the polarization of personality type. But, shortly after, he stopped caring.

A sheer delight: On Sunday afternoon the author took a walk along the river. The wind was cold, frequent, and made the swollen river choppy with “whitecaps”. Like the Heron in La Fontaine's fable, he wasn't about to snack on just anything, but kept his beak in the air until he got to a real treat; he only stopped walking when the waves hit the rocks with noticeable emphasis. The path was empty, and he wondered at the neighbours for staying indoors. At the same time, a single other person in sight would have reduced to tinsel the effect of the whole moment. He thought he would call it sublime instead of beautiful because beauty comforts but the sublime has always got something terrible and cold in it too.

What is admirable: According to the author, a solid boredom without restlnessness is admirable.

The Hosses: He took another walk and saw some horses. The author envied them for their tendency to stand so still, until one of them looked at him funny.
