On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, thinking about this poem by Paul Celan:

Shibboleth

Together with my stones
grown big with weeping
behind the bars,
they dragged me out into
the middle of the market,
that place
where the flag unfurls to which
I swore no kind of allegiance.

Posting on here still feels typing into the void - but it's a friendly blue void, right? A blue-oid? A bloid?

Skull of St. Thomas Aquinas to visit Washington, DC Members of the faithful will be able to venerate the relics, including his skull, on two separate occasions.

May he bring some ✨high vibrations ✨to the capital:

"The major relics of St. Thomas Aquinas, “The Angelic Doctor,” are scheduled to make a stop in Washington, D.C., next weekend as part of the commemoration of the 700th anniversary of his canonization." #ReligiousNerd #Relics 1/2

Thank you!

I did a little google research and found this:
"It would appear that the famous line attributed to Paul Éluard, is a détournement by Patrick White, who used it as an epigram to his novel The Solid Mandala (1966). By détournement, I mean a found line, not only copied and corrected."

I got to wondering what the original French of this was (or another language, as it is sometimes attributed to Rilke or even Mexican poet Octavio Paz.)

A poetic quote and an academic mystery:

Who else has heard the quote attributed to Paul Éluard (or sometimes Rilke): "There is another world, and it is this one" ?

Hi there! May I be added to this or the spillover pack? Thanks. :)

Oh, you "heard" there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord? Cite your sources, bro. This is how misinformation spreads
