\n“It’s a modest, everyday story without any big themes or grand spectacle. So what makes Jean Vigo’s film L’Atalante unforgettable?
\n“To this day, there is a Prix Jean Vigo in France for exceptional talent and resolve in the very young, and it derives from an urge in Vigo to make his films quickly, before he might be dead. ”<\/p>\n

Jean Vigo<\/a> shared a birthday with Shakespeare and Wittgenstein.<\/a>

Satyajit Ray<\/a>‘s birthday today. The A<\/strong>pu Trilogy <\/a> beautiful, moving masterpieces and must see if you have not.
\n“Like Renoir and DeSica, Ray sees that life itself is good no matter how bad it is. It is difficult to discuss art which is an affirmation of life, without fear of becoming maudlin. But is there any other kind of art, on screen or elsewhere? “In cinema,” Ray says, “we must select everything for the camera according to the richness of its power to reveal. (Pauline Kael).<\/p>\n

Located a poem by Howard Nemerov that I was looking for.
\n(see Diane Arbus<\/a>)<\/p>\n

To D<\/strong>\u2013\u2013\u2013, Dead by Her own Hand<\/p>\n

My dear, I wonder if before the end
\nYou ever though about a children\u2019s game \u2013
\nI\u2019m sure you must have played it too \u2013 in which
\nYou run along a narrow garden wall
\nPretending it to be a mountain ledge
\nSo steep a snowy darkness fell away
\nOn either side to deeps invisible;
\nAnd when you felt your balance being lost
\nYou jumped because you feared to fall, and thought
\nFor only an instant: That was when I died.<\/p>\n

That was a life ago. And now you\u2019ve gone,
\nWho would no longer play the grown-ups\u2019 game
\nWhere, balanced on the ledge above the dark,
\nYou go on running and you don\u2019t look down,
\nNor ever jump because you fear to fall.<\/p>\n
