aliner: British poet David Gascoyne translated himself into French quite a bit. There's something fascinating and tricky about self-translation. Here is his poem, "The Cage," from his notebooks.

_lapisrose: ‘Pure peaks thrust upward out of mines of energy… Preach to us with great avalanches, tell How new worlds surge from chaos to light… And starbound snowfields, fortify… Our weak hearts filled by the intolerably loud Commotion of this tragic century.’ Mountains, David Gascoyne

BalkansBohemia: But it's not just the Auden. POETRY OF THE THIRTIES opened up a world of poets of whom I'd never heard - including David Gascoyne - and put the work of Stephen Spender, C. Day Lewis and Louis MacNeice in more useful context. 7/

David__Osland: The expression 'Bob's your uncle' dates back to 1887, when Conservative prime minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil gave a cabinet position to his nephew Arthur Balfour, who later succeeded him at Number Ten. Tory nepotism is nothing new.

Ergophizmiz: Went back to the amazing Ryde bookshop. Found David Gascoyne's Collected Poems, and Jean Genet's anti-white-supremacy theatre spectacle "The Blacks". Hooray!

9thfloor: Published in 1956, David Gascoyne's poem, like all great poetry, foresaw our present moment of fear and collaboration. If WWII saw the Greatest Generation rise up against tyranny, COVID-19 has seen a Generation of Cowards cower in terrified obedience to its lies and dictates.

scripttoscene: Both David Neilson and Chris Gascoyne deserve either Best Actor, Best Male Dramatic Performance or both My choices came down to me thinking Best Actor is for a general impact on Corrie and Best Male Dramatic Performance is for a specific impact

QMirum: The Writer's Hand - David Gascoyne

komarnyckyj: 37/47 Blake or Clare with Shelley’s craftsmanship and David Gascoyne’s manic inventiveness. However, his brief life meant that his work represents only a fraction of his potential.

davidclover: I also bought this, another Keith Vaughan illustration on the cover, published by John Lehmann in 1950, David Gascoyne was highly regarded at the time, though perhaps less well known now. Gascoyne was an active antifascist, who travelled to Spain in the Civil War 3/

SimonDuring: David Gascoyne, Thomas Carlyle (1952). Bought more for Gascoyne than for Carlyle even though the older I get the more often Carlyle’s importance to Anglophone intellectual history stikes me. These British Council pamphlets were a familiar sight when I was young, relics now.

henryrward: "Heavy beneath all that is seen hangs the forgotten." David Gascoyne

ncolloff: 'Chalice' by Lorna Graves (1947-2006) Lorna was a beautiful person: witty, intelligent, wise. I remember a wonderful conversation at Dartington Hall with her and the poet David Gascoyne on Christian existentialism, suffering, and joy. 3 introverts out for a meandering of soul.

ArmandReix: - David Gascoyne.

ArmandReix: A fan of days held in a virgin hand A burning taper burning paper And you can turn back no longer No longer stand still The words of poems curling among the ashes Hieroglyphics of larger despairs than ours." - David Gascoyne, Man's life is this meat.
