Sometimes You Forget Other People Are Having Bad Days Too, Other People Are Crying In Private, Not Everyone

Carol Serventy, Galahs, 1970.

“These cockatoos are found throughout inland Australia and in recent years have become common in the cities. Like most of the parrot family, the beauty of their plumage is not matched by a beautiful voice, this being a harsh screech.

The Italians have a word for the store of poems you have in your head: a gazofilacio […] in its original language it actually means a treasure chamber of the mind. The poems I remember are the milestones marking the journey of my life. And unlike paintings, sculptures or passages of great music, they do not outstrip the scope of memory, but are the actual thing, incarnate.

Clive James, ‘The poems I remember are the milestones marking the journey of my life,’ The Guardian (26 September 2020)

Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.
