O where are you going ?

~ Sunday 10 August 2008 ~

"O where are you going ?".....straight to find
as many examples of "The Cutty Wren" as
you can for structural comparison of that
<t'riffic traditional tune> - with its relentless
compulsion - to this more modern musing
on moo-moo manure. (At least it's not
about Midge Ure, although you'll often
find midges mingling over ordure).

~ Running Ordure ~

I won't make you [Trot off !] (with or without
"the trots") to find ALL your own examples.
Instead, I shall paste what I find, starting
with my first (and favourite) disc-recovery
discovery from The Ian Campbell Folk Group,
in [THIS] post ; post posting the poem
and pointing out the preposterousness
of my prat-prating presentation of it.

~ W.H. Auden's Poetry ~

O Where are you Going ?
by WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN
(1907-1973)

“O where are you going ?” said reader to rider,
“That valley is fatal when furnaces burn,
Yonder’s the midden where odours will madden,
That gap is the grave where the tall return.”

“O do you imagine,” said fearer to farer,
“That dusk will delay on your path to the pass,
Your diligent looking discover the lacking
Your footsteps feel from granite to grass ?”

“O what was that bird,” said horror to hearer,
“Did you see that shape in the twisted trees ?
Behind you swiftly the figure comes softly,
The spot on your skin is a shocking disease.”

“Out of this house” - said rider to reader,
“Yours never will” - said farer to fearer,
“They’re looking for you” - said hearer to horror,
As he left them there, as he left them there.

~ POETIC POST CARD ~

This [POETIC POST CARD] is the first of
a series and, sparce and poorly-executed,
will, hopefully, remain the weakest in the
collection.

~ POETIC POST CARD SERIES ~

POETIC POST CARDS - THE SERIES :

.1.

W.H. Auden's "O where are you going ?"

.2.

Emma Lazarus's "The New Colossus"

.3.

William Blake's "The Tyger"

~ (Ol') Possum Blossom

The inflection infliction of <Auden Audio>
is all (w)rung wrong in consequence of
my uninformed assumption that a
"Wystan Hugh..." had to be a Welshman
and not someone the English swapped
for "Thomas Stearns..."

For a joke about Bear Stearns (not Bear
Grylls) and stern bears, please visit ------->

Knowledge of Porridge

Lumbered and encumbered with a narrator
nattering in an (inane) accent entirely
inauthentic for its author, I was prompted
to animate the writer of "reader to rider"
as a SILENT "hearer" of "horror".

~ SCHISM CRITICISM ~

I thought it would be unusual and, perhaps,
interesting to show W.H. Auden [MUTE]ly
refute and dispute a contemptuously bad
performance....[schneurph] but then I didn’t
deliver enough of him bonding with his
audience in a disdainful conspiracy
AGAINST the (detours of) awful
auditor(s)...or the sort of <awful-eyeful>
EDitors who would allow the inky inclusion
of the following slappable strap-line ---->

~ EXPRESSION(ISM) SCHISM ~

I expect the specifics of this animated,
agitated, Auden's individual facial
expressions are largely lost, distracted
from by the word-by-word, read-in-RED
<thems-dems-does-goes-past-too-fast>
subtitles that I felt an EXTRA compulsion
to add having semi-watched the first two
episodes of “Can’t Read, Can’t Write”
Channel 4’s contemporary account of
the bane of adult illiteracy.

~ Adult Illiteracy ~

For centuries adult illiteracy was the norm'.
It was "the norm'" for the Normans' Saxon
subjects when the Latin-literate, .Francophone.
(foaming-at-the-mouth-of-"La (munchy) Manche")
from-overseas overseers set one lingo for the
law and left another (Mother Tongue) for the lore.

~ Read 'em : FREEDOM ~

The aural aurora of the oral lore is impervious
to fire, flood or frail forgetting. The song
serves the tribe not the scribe ; in its
resonance is permanence - and FREEDOM.

It was the TUNE that carried "(The) Cutty Wren"
across the centuries ; and across the world.
