Vernacular Baton Rouge 2
All of these shots were taken are along Highland Road, north of the LSU campus. I have long admired the TV Service wall. . . .
What worries me now
Government forces carry away body
Minerva nerveless in Nirvana
“. . . Oh say can you see in the dark you
observe Minerva nerveless in Nirvana because
Zeus rides reindeer thru Bethlehem’s blue sky.
It’s Buddha sits in Mary’s belly waving Kuan
Yin’s white hand at the Jang-tze that Mao sees,
tongue of Kali licking Krishna’s soft blue lips.”
—Allen Ginsberg, Holy Ghost on the Nod over the Body of Bliss, 1966, from Collected Poems 1947–1997.
on a red stage
“Six women dancing together on a red stage naked
The leaves are green on all the trees in Paris now
I will be home in two months and look you in the eyes”
—Allen Ginsberg, Message, 1958, from Collected Poems 1947–1997.
a fine prospect
“‘I like a fine prospect, but not on picturesque principles. I do not like crooked, twisted, blasted trees. I admire them much more if they are tall, straight and flourishing. I do not like ruined, tattered cottages. I am not fond of nettles, or thistles, or heath blossoms. I have more pleasure in a snug farm-house than in a watch-tower and a troop of tidy, happy villagers please me better than the finest banditti in the world.’”
—Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility, 1811.
