A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was hauntedI would scour the library as a kid looking for things that fed my appetite for the strange or profound. Often I’d end up confused attempting to read and consume works that were way over my head. The thing that drew me to Coleridge & the rime of the ancient mariner was -

I have to say I disagree with almost everything you say here, but I think this can only be a good thing. It certainly says a lot about Euphorium. Hmm.

[zerozero]

i had a feeling you might.

[zerozero]

in case that wasn't clear - i'm deeply curious as to what your take on it was.

[latristesse]

Glad I'm predictable. I will write it up eventually, but what I think I disagree most with in this post is the notion that Kubla Khan isn't poetry.. and, well... also the idea that you can't be critical of something if you like it too much - something I'm absolutely terrified of (there's a confession and a half!). And of course, that Euphor!um was art.....

Anyway, fabulous post all the same.

I can take it no longer. Whilst partaking in some watching of the square box that yields magical light, I blinked. And lo a spectre flashed and vanished, but not so fast that I could not name my tormentor. Sock Monkey. Specificly, the red clad horror accompanying you and your cursed blinks. Please, for all that's good, remove that which stains the mind a demented orange inky colour!

(sorry I had no where else to put that comment)

Love? Art?
To answer that is to group their opposites. What is art to one person, is not to another. I thought I was closer to the answer by knowing what is not art.
Paralel thought : I feel uncomfortable with McKean's work because he is intrinsicly in each peice, and for me, art shouldn't hold so much ego, so much of the same charecter, art should allow you to feel apart of it, and for me that is where he fails.
But then my paralel split off and turned to the question of whether his work is good on the level where it allows you to forget yourself and see something through someone elses eyes. But that's just a product of my unwillingness to hold one mind on anything.
My answers?
Art is.
Love is art.
And my favoutite colour would have to be the art of love.

cheesy yes. but far more accurate than any of my other answers.

Actually, I'll withdraw the request if you can make Mork wave for me:)
