Galliano Swan

There is an irony that Black Swan Oscar-winner Natalie Portman, one face of Dior, should accuse her one-time colleague, John Galliano, the other face of Dior, for being a raving genius - when Black Swan is precisely about the power of destructive negative elements within the psyche to both inspire, and destroy.  If, as seems the case, that the current video of a slovenly, slurring bohemian in Paris sneeringly claiming that the Holocaust was a great idea, and A.H. someone to love, is really Galliano, then he is kaput.  I don't see a way forward for him, with this sort of racism at his core.

Anti-Semitism is a nasty and stupid crime, and intolerable.  Eliot, had he lived in the YouTube age, might have wrecked himself more clearly with his views.  While we have Pound's fascist broadcast transcripts, and a few recordings, they are not widely known or available, though now studied. I wonder if it is time to ask why a certain sort of artist feels it necessary, to, from time to time, exhibit such ignorant thuggishness, and let such sludge out of their cankered souls?  This would be sad, if it were not so repellent.  His unruly fashions were the rage, but his enraged opinions unfashionable.

IQ AND THE POETS - ARE YOU SMART?

When you open your mouth to speak, are you smart?  A funny question from a great song, but also, a good one, when it comes to poets, and poetry. We tend to have a very ambiguous view of intelligence in poetry, one that I'd say is dysfunctional.  Basically, it goes like this: once you are safely dead, it no longer matters how smart you were.  For instance, Auden was smarter than Yeats , but most would still say Yeats is the finer poet; Eliot is clearly highly intelligent, but how much of Larkin 's work required a high IQ?  Meanwhile, poets while alive tend to be celebrated if they are deemed intelligent: Anne Carson, Geoffrey Hill , and Jorie Graham , are all, clearly, very intelligent people, aside from their work as poets.  But who reads Marianne Moore now, or Robert Lowell , smart poets? Or, Pound ?  How smart could Pound be with his madcap views? Less intelligent poets are often more popular.  John Betjeman was not a very smart poet, per se....

"I have crossed oceans of time to find you..."

In terms of great films about, and of, love, we have Vertigo, In The Mood for Love , and Casablanca , Doctor Zhivago , An Officer and a Gentleman , at the apex; as well as odder, more troubling versions, such as Sophie's Choice and  Silence of the Lambs .  I think my favourite remains Bram Stoker's Dracula , with the great immortal line "I have crossed oceans of time to find you...".

Poetry vs. Literature

Poetry is, of course, a part of literature. But, increasingly, over the 20th century, it has become marginalised - and, famously, has less of an audience than "before". I think that, when one considers the sort of criticism levelled against Seamus Heaney and "mainstream poetry", by poet-critics like Jeffrey Side , one ought to see the wider context for poetry in the "Anglo-Saxon" world. This phrase was used by one of the UK's leading literary cultural figures, in a private conversation recently, when they spoke eloquently about the supremacy of "Anglo-Saxon novels" and their impressive command of narrative. My heart sank as I listened, for what became clear to me, in a flash, is that nothing has changed since Victorian England (for some in the literary establishment). Britain (now allied to America) and the English language with its marvellous fiction machine, still rule the waves. I personally find this an uncomfortable position - but when ...
