Her best-known works include the poems “Daddy” and “Lady Lazarus,” in addition to a collection of poems, “The Colossus,” published in October 1960, and the novel “The Bell Jar.” </div><div><br /></div><div>Plath was known to starkly express a sense of alienation and self-destruction that resonated with many. The Bell Jar, written under the pseudonym, Victoria Lucus, was not overwhelmingly well accepted when it was first released.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Bell Jar was a manifestation of her mental crisis. The well-known “fig tree” quote illustrates the paralysis of indecision.</div><div><br /></div><div>An except reads, “I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. </div><div><br /></div><div>“One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet, and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. </div><div><br /></div><div>“I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet...”</div><div><br /></div><div>However, Charlotte Ahlin calls to our attention in a piece she wrote on March 19, 2018, “This Quote From 'The Bell Jar' Is Always Used Out-Of-Context & It Changes The Whole Meaning.” https://www.bustle.com/p/the-fig-tree-quote-in-the-bell-jar-is-always-used-out-of-context-it-actually-changes-the-entire-meaning-8509944 </div><div><br /></div><div>“Nearly every young person can relate to the fig tree: that horrible, suffocating feeling of indecision, the sense that every choice you make for the future means giving up on ten other choices. The knowledge that you can only move forward, and that if you choose the wrong "fig," the right fig might fall and rot before you get to it.</div><div><br /></div><div>“There's nothing necessarily wrong with plucking this quote out of The Bell Jar — in many ways, it captures the crux of Esther's depression in a single paragraph. She feels inadequate, paralyzed by indecision, and unsure of what she wants. She's starving to death and yet unable to reach out and pluck a fig, any fig, from her tree. She can see future happiness, but doesn't know how to grasp it. She's numb to her own life. There's a reason that this quote resonates with so many people.</div><div><br /></div><div>“But people rarely seem to quote the page after the fig tree.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Esther has this disturbing vision while out on a date with Constantin, who's giving her a tour of the U.N. Being surrounded by all these accomplished, multilingual young people prompts Esther to start mentally listing all the things she's terrible at. She berates herself on her own flaws (she can't cook, she doesn't know shorthand, she's a bad dancer) until she spirals into the fig tree metaphor, sure that she will never live up to her promise as a gifted, scholarship kid.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Then, however, Constantin takes her to a restaurant, and Esther has to sit down and eat. Then, there's this: ‘I don't know what I ate, but I felt immensely better after the first mouthful. It occurred to me that my vision of the fig tree and all the fat figs that withered and fell to earth might well have arisen from the profound void of an empty stomach.’”</div><div><br /></div><div>In college - in January 1955, Plath submitted her thesis “The Magic Mirror: A Study of the Double in Two of Dostoyevsky's Novels.”</div><div><br /></div><div>In 1956, while on a Fulbright Fellowship at Cambridge University, she married the British poet Ted Hughes after a whirlwind courtship. They were both ambitious, and hoped to become the leading poets of their generation. For Plath, it was a marriage mired with misfortune that rivals that of a Greek tragedy on steroids. </div><div><br /></div><div>Interestingly enough, in the later years of her marriage, Hughes and Plath kept bees, the topic of many of her poems. </div><div><br /></div><div>I always found it fascinating that in 1958 she worked, for a brief time, as a receptionist in the psychiatric unit of Massachusetts General Hospital.</div><div><br /></div><div>Her novel, The Bell Jar, was published in London in 1963 under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. Strongly autobiographical, the book describes the mental breakdown and eventual recovery of a young college girl and parallels Plath's own breakdown and hospitalization in 1953.</div><div><br /></div><div>After her death, many of us can identify with Al Alvaraz, who later wrote, according to an article in The Guardian, “"I failed her ... I was thirty years old and stupid. What did I know about chronic clinical depression? She kind of needed someone to take care of her. And that was not something I could do…” At the time, Plath had been separated from Hughes for six months while he was having an affair with Assia Gutmann Wevill, who was pregnant with Hughes’ child at the time. In part, haunted by the death of Plath, Wevill took her own life on March 23, 1969. </div><div><br /></div><div>Plath’s tombstone reads: “Even amidst fierce flames / the Golden Lotus can be planted.” These lines are from Chinese literature, Wu Cheng'en's Monkey: Journey to the West – although other folks attribute it to the Hindu text from “Bhagavad Gita.”</div><div><br /></div><div>All this - according to some old, disheveled notes and files recently found in the bottom of a box of discarded poems and short stories that were compiled and assembled from multiple undocumented sources over many-many years. Out of an abundance of caution - no claim to original authorship is either claimed or implied. As a young writer, I was always fascinated with the idea of having the opportunity to have interviewed Sylvia Plath. </div><div><br /></div><div>For additional context, read: “'I realised Sylvia knew about Assia's pregnancy - it might have offered a further explanation of her suicide' In a heart-breaking new twist in the story of the lives and deaths of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Sigmund recalls a moment of terrible realization” from The Guardian, April 22, 1999. https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/1999/apr/23/features11.g21 </div><div><br /></div><div>For a brief introduction to Sylvia Plath, be sure to watch a short “TED-ED” on YouTube, “Why should you read Sylvia Plath? - Iseult Gillespie.” Find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCWl8ZIgCHk </div><div><br /></div><div>Find an interview with Sylvia Plath from 1962, on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2lMsVpRh5c And a great collection of pictures of Sylvia Plath Here: “Sylvia Plath reads November Graveyard:” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7ujeHnrT8A (About the graveyard in Heptonstall. in which she was buried in 1963.) </div><div><br /></div><div><div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif;

couldn't get away… [From an interview transcript from 1982.]</span></div>Kevin Earl Dayhoffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152315167685896892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20185808.post-47989289056395929142024-01-20T01:35:00.004-05:002024-01-20T01:35:20.912-05:00Taylor Swift - Lover (Official Lyric Video)<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/cvUAzpn48xA?si=D54aOjQRTbzonz7F" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Taylor Swift - Lover (Official Lyric Video)</div>Kevin Earl Dayhoffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152315167685896892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20185808.post-3052375013886286732024-01-06T16:08:00.006-05:002024-01-06T16:08:33.096-05:00HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song | Official Trailer (2022)<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/11IPQYZMXjc?si=fe1SQfsYkAcG5XiV" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song | Official Trailer (2022)</div><div><br /></div><div>Directed by: Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine</div><div><br /></div><div>Selections: Venice Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, and more</div><div><br /></div><div>Featuring: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, John Cale, Brandi Carlile, Eric Church, Judy Collins, Bob Dylan, Glen Hansard, Sharon Robinson, Rufus Wainwright and many others</div><div><br /></div><div>Synopsis: HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song is a definitive exploration of singer song writer Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his internationally renowned hymn, “Hallelujah.” </div><div><br /></div><div>This feature-length documentary weaves together three creative strands: The songwriter and his times; the song’s dramatic journey from record label reject to chart-topping hit; and moving testimonies from major recording artists for whom “Hallelujah” has become a personal touchstone. </div><div><br /></div><div>Approved for production by Leonard Cohen just before his 80th birthday in 2014, the film accesses a wealth of never-before-seen archival materials from the Cohen Trust including Cohen’s personal notebooks, journals and photographs, performance footage, and extremely rare audio recordings and interviews.</div><div><br /></div><div>YouTube url address: https://youtu.be/11IPQYZMXjc?si=fe1SQfsYkAcG5XiV </div><div><br /></div></div>Kevin Earl Dayhoffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152315167685896892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20185808.post-70756614624864050442024-01-06T03:01:00.001-05:002024-01-06T03:01:23.220-05:00HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4aMAU06OaWWNe52iiXobko9hc_wyASxpxLrCSF5387EfoMGvh2fcCSZujRQUtQ-XutXlcAy1sItxiNQk8aP2RxqnO5fRUk3BtEeKw8q81Ev9N4PojtsH2eplMEtNHXjx2RyAQh-LtYhtwGTNvkO0pkveP7rSWn6UbInUpGfnEnATdG0jeN-i1WQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="498" data-original-width="730" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4aMAU06OaWWNe52iiXobko9hc_wyASxpxLrCSF5387EfoMGvh2fcCSZujRQUtQ-XutXlcAy1sItxiNQk8aP2RxqnO5fRUk3BtEeKw8q81Ev9N4PojtsH2eplMEtNHXjx2RyAQh-LtYhtwGTNvkO0pkveP7rSWn6UbInUpGfnEnATdG0jeN-i1WQ" width="320" /></a></div><br />HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Friday evening, January 5, 2024 Caroline and I had the
opportunity to view the first film in FLICC’s January Documentary Series:– “HALLELUJAH:
Leonard Cohen” at the Carroll Arts Center in Westminster at 91 West Main Street, Sponsored by: JeannieBird Baking Company.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song. According to a
review on the Carroll Arts Council website, “is a definitive exploration of
singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his
internationally renowned hymn, ‘Hallelujah.’</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“This feature-length documentary weaves together three
creative strands: The songwriter and his times; the song’s dramatic journey
from record label reject to chart-topping hit; and moving testimonies from
major recording artists for whom “Hallelujah” has become a personal touchstone.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Approved for production by Leonard Cohen just before his
80th birthday in 2014, the film accesses a wealth of never-before-seen archival
materials from the Cohen Trust including Cohen’s personal notebooks, journals
and photographs, performance footage, and extremely rare audio recordings and
interviews. It was released in 2021; the screening time was: 1 h 58 m; It is

The band began in 2000 and after their first single "Summer Calling" and follow-up "Beautiful Things" (best known for the Gabriel & Dresden Remix, now a classic, sporting over 20 million views on Youtube) their name was launched into instant celebrity.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Andain just finished working on their brand new artist album and already released the successful single "Promises" which appeared on many compilations, and reached #13 in SiriusXM's BPM Top 51 of 2011. In support of the album, the single "Much Too Much" was released, accompanied by a beautiful video directed by Jamie Redford. The third single was handpicked by Andain and now "Turn Up The Sound" sees the light of day in a state of the art remix package.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">The original version of "Turn Up The Sound" is a powerful production with a deeply emotive character and the perfect canvass for Mavie's soaring vocals. For this remix package, Andain approached such highly acclaimed producers like Tristan Garner and for the occasion Gabriel & Dresden reworked the original into a gem featuring their trademark sound. Not to mention of course that Josh Gabriel is both band member of both Andain and Gabriel & Dresden. Now "Turn Up The Sound"!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Supported by: Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk,

In the year 2019, the police department forces Rick Deckard (Ford) out of retirement to hunt four genetically engineered humans who have come to earth. Designed to do difficult, hazardous work, the manufactured humans are stronger, faster and smarter than non-engineered humans. They feel no pain or remorse; they are almost indistinguishable from other humans ... and they are killing people. Now Deckard must stop them before they kill again.” </div><div><br /></div><div>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mViFqLGh4UU Canadalorian</div><div><br /></div></div>Kevin Earl Dayhoffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152315167685896892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20185808.post-7755914191442757792023-09-21T01:32:00.006-04:002023-09-21T01:32:28.461-04:00Tears in the Rain - Blade Runner (9/10) Movie CLIP (1982) HD<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/HU7Ga7qTLDU?si=f_4TjImejw4LNPPm" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div>Tears in the Rain - Blade Runner (9/10) Movie CLIP (1982) HD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU7Ga7qTLDU&t=0s </div><div><br /></div><div>“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

W. Griffith’s classic “Intolerance,” was released on Sept. 5, 1916.</div><div><br /></div><div>Compiled by Kevin Dayhoff September 12-15, 2023. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was originally researching the life and accomplishments of Bessie Love, an early silent film star who was born September 10, 1898. One of her early movies was “Intolerance:” released Sept. 5, 1916, "Intolerance is a 1916 epic silent film directed by D. W. Griffith and considered one of the great masterpieces of the Silent Era. It is perhaps one of the top ten movies ever made.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bessie Love appeared in the movie along with the likes of Lilian Gish, Vera Lewis, Ralph Lewis, Mae Marsh, Robert Harron, Constance Talmadge, Josephine Crowell, Margery Wilson, Frank Bennett, Elmer Clifton, Miriam Cooper, and Alfred Paget.</div><div><br /></div><div>The three-and-a-half hour epic intercuts four parallel storylines, each separated by several centuries: (1) a contemporary melodrama of crime and redemption, (2) a Judean story: Christ's mission and death, (3) a French story: the events surrounding the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572, and (4) a Babylonian story: the fall of the Babylonian Empire to Persia in 539 BC. Each story had its own distinctive color tint in the original print. The scenes are linked by shots of a figure representing Eternal Motherhood, rocking a cradle."</div><div><br /></div><div>Bessie Love played the role of ‘The Bride,’ in the ‘Wedding at Cana’ scene in Intolerance. It was a complex scene in which Christ attends the wedding at Cana with Howard Gaye as Christ, and with Bessie Love and George Walsh as the bride and groom. Bessie Love was born on September 10, 1898. She was discovered in 1915 when she began working in silent pictures directed by D.W. Griffith. Following her small role in ‘Intolerance’, Love gained her first prominent role in ‘The Flying Torpedo’ in 1916.</div><div><br /></div><div>One media source explained, “In 1929, when sound made its way to films, Love was one of the few actors who found the transition from silent films to early talkies smooth. She won an Academy Award nomination for her stellar performance in ‘The Broadway Melody’. She moved to Britain in 1935 where she resumed her acting career…” Her acting career ended in 1983. </div><div><br /></div><div>An interesting sidenote is that she worked for the American red Cross during World War II in England.</div><div><br /></div><div>According to a story in Los Angeles Times at the time of her death in London England on April 26, 1986 at the age of 88, “She was born Juanita Horton in Midland, Tex., the daughter of an itinerant bartender father who moved his family through Arizona, New Mexico and finally to Los Angeles, where his 16-year-old daughter talked her way onto the set of ‘Intolerance.’”</div><div><br /></div><div>Throughout her career she Bessie Love made 141 films, including the Oscar-nominated Broadway Melody (1929), making appearances in The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961), Isadora (1968), Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971), Ragtime (1981), Reds (1981) and The Hunger (1983). She wrote her autobiography, From Hollywood with Love, in 1977.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Los Angeles Times reported, “She was cast in a series of parts she once described as “sunbonnet girl next door” in “Nina the Flower Girl,” “The Great Adventure,” “The Yankee Princess,” “Human Wreckage” and three dozen more before becoming a self-professed “sequined and spangled showgirl” in “The Broadway Melody.” That 1928 production was the first talking picture ventured by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film, also believed the industry’s first sound musical, brought her an Academy Award nomination.”</div><div><br /></div><div>This information has been compiled and assembled from multiple documented and undocumented sources over many years – all of which I have been very careful to cite and no claim to original authorship is either claimed or implied.</div><div><br /></div></div>Kevin Earl Dayhoffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152315167685896892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20185808.post-32543564815586175732023-08-24T02:07:00.005-04:002023-08-24T02:07:19.872-04:00Morgan Wade - Psychopath (Official Audio)<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/w1K4UOkMdqM?si=g4LhR6QqLNXbqQvR" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>#amwriting to Morgan Wade – According to ‘About the Artist’ retrieved August 24, 2023 on Spotify, “Most artists don't top Rolling Stone's Best Country Albums of the year list with their debut album. But most artists aren't Morgan Wade, who earned the top spot with her scathingly honest and raw 2021 LP Reckless. </div><div><br /></div><div>“While Reckless, and its Top 30 lead single "Wilder Days," busted down the doors and introduced Wade as a once-in-a- generation songwriter, she now readies her anticipated follow-up project, Psychopath, arriving Aug. 25. </div><div><br /></div><div>An astounding 13-track LP, Psychopath most excitingly finds Wade peeling back layers of her psyche like never before. Wade has been no stranger to the road throughout the first quarter of 2023 on her headlining NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN TOUR, which sold out 35 shows for more than 40,000 tickets sold. </div><div><br /></div><div>A Virginia native, Wade has broken away from the pack to become one of country music's most compelling new voices. Possessed with a raw and unflinching voice anchored by a perfect tinge of twang; the rare ability to pen honest portraits of some of life's most precious and painful and unpredictable moments; and an onstage vulnerability that so seamlessly breaks down the wall between fan and artist, Wade has quickly made her mark on the country music scene- and the music world at large-with nominations for ACM New Female Artist of the Year, Americana Music Association Emerging Act of the Year, and CMT Breakthrough Female Video of the Year…</div><div><br /></div><div>There is a good article on her in People magazine here: ‘Who Is Morgan Wade?
