Anna Liffey

Isn't the sea what Algy calls it: a grey sweet mother ?
The snotgreen sea - the scrotumtightening sea .

How it all got started !

The last tint of pink disappears from the western sky, leaving to the moon complete mastery of night.Its light floods through woods and fields, reflects up from bends of rivers, shines on the silver wings of my biplane, turning them a greenish hue. It makes the earth seem more like a planet, and me part of the heavens above it, as though I too had a right to an orbit in the sky.

.....I feel aloof and unattached , in the solitude of space. Why return to that moss; why submerge myself in brick-walled human problems when all the crystal universe is mine?

(Charles A.Lindbergh)
