| = *what* does that moon vomit? | Carmen Fenesan [28.Aug.04 01:02] |
| Dear Mr Burlacu, I enjoy the subtle lyricism of a vomiting moon as much as everyone else, but having just read this I can't help feeling 'trasa pe sfoara'. Example: 'We have crawled enough' (Adica 'n-am tarat destul', nu?) First you use 'perfectul compus' which implies an action that 'has been' completed. So, we 'have crawled', but we're not crawling presently. Secondly,the word 'enough' indicates an unwillingness to go on in the present situation. So basically what you are saying is the 'we have crawled in the past, but now we do not' and more then that 'we are unwilling to ever crawl again'. That makes sense. But where do you go from there to being 'keepers of masochism'? The only way I can find meaning in this is by believing that to crawl is not masochistic while the refusal to crawl is (Capul plecat sabia nu-l taie?). But if we have already refused to crawl then what more do we want? ('never enough, ever wanting more') I apologize if I am wrong about this, and if so please explain (I might be a bit slow sometimes). Regards, Carmen | |
