aliner: "Delmore was already the poet on the cross of culture, every muscle contorted; Brooklyn's best, nailed down."
- Alfred Kazin on Delmore Schwartz, 1978
aliner: Let us be aware of the true dark gods
Acknowledgeing the cache of the crotch
The primitive pure and pwerful pink and grey
private sensitivites
Wincing, marvelous in their sweetness, whence rises
the future.
Therefore let us praise Miss Marilyn Monroe.

aliner: “In Dreams Begin Responsibilities” by Delmore Schwartz— a short short story whose narrator swerves between the dread of a cinema film and imagining his parents’ courtship. Fantastic POV technique. Perfect for American fiction course on 20th cen. Eastern Jewish diaspora.
aliner: No one truly exists in the real world, because no one knows all that he is to other human beings, all they say behind his back, and all the foolishness which the future will bring him.

aliner: One remembers the first time reading Delmore Schwartz's "All Night, All Night." One remembers feeling so alive "in the sick light" & "the slick glitter" . . . reading it aloud on a street at night just to hear its stride lengthening.

Falls in a parachute, falls endlessly, and feel the vast
Draft of the abyss sucking him down and down,
An endlessly helplessly falling and appalled clown

Abiding, rode the fullness or endured the emptiness,
You were: you were alone.

zarandillo: Lou Reed, who dedicated his song European Son to Delmore Schwartz...
Schwartz, Lou Reed said, showed him how "to take a poet or novelist's approach to songs, so the lyrics could stand alone but with the fun of the two guitars, bass and drums to enhance them."
