…And a third to get it right, finally? Yes, it would be like practice. Your poem made me think of A Compass Error by Sybille Bedford, in which a character expresses that when one is young, everything seems a rehearsal, then « One day you know the curtain was up all the time. That was the performance. » And that reminded me of Adrienne Rich’s Transcendental Etude, which also says we don’t get a rehearsal, and worse, that we begin in the midst of the hardest movement. Thinking that way could certainly focus the mind.

Merci Georges. Bon weekend 🙂

That paper is amazing! I think I can see the chain marks on where it was laid on the mesh. I like the ink too. It looks like it is of another time…
Oui, ce’st vrai. Perhaps we are never prepared–only more prepared than we were…
Shouldn’t we be given another go ? (One life rehearsal, one life to do what we meant to do but did not manage to do, something like that ) 🙂
