"And as the World upon her victims feeds
So She herself goes down the Way she leads.
For all her false allurements are the Threads
The Spider from her Entrail spins, and spreads
For Home and hunting-ground: And by and by
Darts at due Signal on the tangled Fly,
Seizes, dis-wings, and drains the Life, and leaves
The swinging Carcase, and forthwith re-weaves
Her Web: each Victim adding to the store
Of poison'd Entrail to entangle more.
And so She bloats in Glory: till one Day
The Master of the House, passing that way,
Perceives, and with one flourish of his Broom
Of Web and Fly and Spider clears the Room."
--FitzGerald's Attar
"Ashes denote that Fire was -
Revere the Grayest Pile
For the Departed Creature’s sake
That hovered here awhile -
Fire exists the first in light
And then consolidates
Only the Chemist can disclose
Into what Carbonates -"
—Emily Dickinson (via @timesflow)
"Maybe inspired by these records Brain, Jon and I fantasized about making a series of recordings based on an imaginary culture. (via The Progressive, Psychedelic, Krautrock & Jazz Music Official channel on Fb)
