Too deep

“Thanks to the human heart by which we live,

Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,

To me the meanest flower that blows can give

Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.”

-from Intimations…. by William W.


Thoughts of Wordsworth’s words came to mean, upon seeing a "mean" flower, growing near the cracked sidewalk of the city.

"Was it written by Thomas Pynchon?" "No.  The author is Tomasso V. Pinecone!" "Is this a Python sketch?"

Some things i really enjoy about the film.  I tend to fast forward a little through the scenes set in 21st century.  My favourite character from the 1920's is Salvador Dali.  Love the way Adrien Brody plays him.  I laugh out loud every time.   The music and cinematography are certainly pleasing to look at.  It's all a bit of an idealisation, isn't it? I had a Covid test turn positive this morning.  Forced isolation.  Maybe there's a time portal somewhere nearby.  In the film, Midnigh
