In the Second-Hand Bookshops.

"The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it - I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics is hopeless."

--Hayao Miyazaki via @jacobwren.bsky.social

The Next Time.

"Plough of the Sea

Your deep hull lifts and leaps
for leagues: toil forth. Whale-earth
tears to foaming furrows;
you scythe a keel-fine line.
Nestled in the surf-field
sea-mice spurn bow and stern.
Storm-steady, tiller firm,
be ox-strong: prow-ward, plough."

--Beverley Nadin in Modern Poets on Viking Poetry

"In my memory are lagoons." (via @alexanderchee.bsky.social)
