snail crawling in moonlight (day 103)

The Gothic War.

"8 September, 1928
I believe that the main thing in beginning a novel is to feel, not that you can write it, but that it exists on the far side of a gulf, which words can't cross: that it's to be pulled through only in a breathless anguish.

The Writing Tear.

the course ahead determined
though by mishap placed

& nothing clear for the wayfarer
save that so much bullshit remains to be fixed

a new world
they say, as if set

on a brilliant, unknown shore--
yet day by day these debacles will confirm

our cliff-sliding, intercepted by
lucky stick

The Cornish language revival picks up speed.
