@@@@@God, the work was wonderfulWhen I
stood @@@@@God, the work was wonderfulWhen I stood before my easel in Little Pink at sunset, stripped to my gym shorts and listening to The 543 Bone, watching Girl and Ship No7 emerge from the white with eerie speed (like something sliding out of a fogbank), I felt totally awake and alive, a man in exactly the right place at exactly the right time, a ball that was a perfect fit for its socketThe ghost-ship had turned a little more; its name appeared to be the PerseOn a whim, I Googled this word, and found exactly one hit - probably a world's recordPerse was a private school in England, where the alumni were called Old PerseansThere was no mention of a School Ship, three-masted or otherwise In this latest version, the girl in the rowboat was wearing a green dress with straps that crossed over her bare back, and all around her, floating on the sullen water, were rosesIt was a disturbing picture Walking on the beach, eating my lunch and drinking a beer, with Wireman or on my own, I was happy When I was painting pictures I was happyWhen I was painting I felt filled up and fully realized in some basic way I had never understood before coming to Duma KeyBut when I thought about the show at the Scoto and all the 544 stuff that went into making an exhibition of new work successful, my mind went into lockdownIt was more than stage fright; this felt like outright panic I forgot things - like opening any e-mails from Dario, Jimmy, or Alice Aucoin at the ScotoIf Jack asked me if I was excited about "doing my thing" at the Selby Library's Geldbart Auditorium, I'd tell him ohyeah, then ask him to gas up the Chevy in Osprey, and forget what he'd asked me When Wireman asked if I'd talked to Alice Aucoin yet about how the various groupings were to be hung, I'd suggest we volley some tennis balls, because Elizabeth seemed to enjoy watching Then, about a week before the scheduled lecture, Wireman said he wanted to show me something he'd made"Maybe you could give me your opinion as an artist," he said There was a black folder lying on the table in the shade of the striped umbrella (Jack had mended the rip with a piece of electrician's tape)I opened it and took out what looked like a glossy brochure On the front was one of my early efforts, Sunset 545 with Sophora, and I was surprised at how professional it lookedBelow the repro was this: Dear Linnie: This is what I've been doing in Florida, and although I know you're awfully busy Below awfully busy was an arrowI looked up at Wireman, who was watching me expressionless | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 5:58 am |

@@@@@ He fingered his chin"I don' know if we're @@@@@ He fingered his chin"I don' know if we're gonna make ten miles or two 'cause you can't tell ahead of time, but we're damn sure gonna do it right, I don't care what distance There was a low murmur from the men, and Hearn flushed slightlyCroft had virtually contradicted him "All right, men, let's go," he said sharplyThey started off in a long loose column, plodding forward wearilyThe tropical sun glared on them, reflected from every blade of grass, and dazzled their eyesThe heat made them sweat profusely; their uniforms, which had been wet first by the spray of the boat, had been unable to dry for almost twenty-four hours, and the cloth stuck dankly to their bodiesThe sweat ran into their eyes and smarted, the sun burned on their fatigue caps, the high kunai grass lashed against their faces, and the unending hills absorbed their sinewsTheir hearts would pound as they toiled up a hill, and they would sob with exertion, their faces burning with feverAn intense pendant silence had settled over the hills, become ominous at last in its depth and pervasivenessThe men had not thought about the Japanese at all while they were in the jungle; the denseness of the brush, the cruelty of the river, had absorbed all their attentionThe last thing they had considered was an ambush But now in the great open quiet of the hills they felt a constraint and fear even through their fatigueThe hills stared down on them when they were in a valley, and in crossing a ridge-line the contrast rendered them naked, as though they could be seen for milesThe country was beautiful; the hills were tinted a canary yellow, and spread about them in an unending run of broad smooth curves, but the men did not appreciate the beautyThey had the isolation, the insignificance of insects traversing an endless beach They walked for a mile across a deep flat valley, and the sun blazed on themThe kunai grass grew to terrifying heightsOn the plain each blade of grass was an inch wide and many feet highSometimes they would trudge for a hundred yards through grass that was over their headsIt roused a new kind of terror in them, drove them on more quickly than was bearableThey felt as though they blundered through a forest, but the forest was not solidIt weaved and swayed, rustled against their limbs, was soft and yielding, and therefore nauseousThey were afraid to let the man in front move too far away, for they could not see more than two or three yards, and so they dogged at each other's heels, the grass whipping nastily into their face | | Friday, December 31st, 2010 | | 6:04 am |

I'm starving "He said 'the minute she comes'" Scarlett picked up a steaming hot roll from the bread basket and took an angry bite as she swung on her heel She finished it while she marched to her grandfather's roomThe old man frowned at her over the tray that rested on his lap in the big bed His plate, Scarlett saw, held only mashed potatoes and a mound of soggy-looking bits of carrotMy grief! No wonder he looks so fierce There's not even any butter on the potatoesEven if he doesn't have a tooth in his head, they could feed him better than that"I do not tolerate a disregard for the schedule of my house," said the old man "I'm sorry, Grandfath | | Thursday, December 30th, 2010 | | 5:56 am |

@@@@@Panicked men and women ran through @@@@@Panicked men and women ran through the alleyways and the streets, screaming, falling, praying to gods their leaders had forsworn “England!” He had to get into “England” and then ultimately into “America,” where all his instincts told him the end would come—one way or anotherHe had to find the truck that was being driven by the Jackal and destroy bothHe could do it—he could do it! Carlos thought he was dead and that was the key, for the Jackal would do what he had to do, what he, Jason Bourne, would do if he were CarlosWhen the holocaust he had ignited was at its zenith, the Jackal would abandon the truck and put into play his means of escape—his escape to Paris, the real Paris, where his army of old men would spread the word of their monseigneur’s triumph over the ubiquitous, disbelieving SovietsIt would be somewhere near the tunnel; that was a given The race through “London,” “Coventry” and “Portsmouth” could only be likened to the newsreel footage from World War II depicting the carnage hurled down on Great Britain by the Luftwaffe, compounded by first the screaming and then the silent terror of the V-2 and V-5 rockets But the residents of Novgorod were not British—forbearance gave way to mass hysteria, concern for all became survival for self aloneAs the impressive reproductions of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament crashed down in flames and the aircraft factories of “Coventry” were reduced to raging fires, the streets swelled with screaming, horrified crowds racing through the roads that led to the Volkhov River and the shipyards of “Portsmouth There, from the scaled-down piers and slips, scores threw themselves into rushing waters only to be caught in the magnesium grids where sharp, jagged bolts of electricity blazingly zigzagged through the air, leaving limp bodies floating toward the next metal traps above and below the angry surfaceIn paralyzed fragments, the crowds Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 428 watched and turned in panic, fighting their way back into the miniaturized city of “Portsea”; the guards had abandoned their posts and chaos ruled the night Snapping on the jeep’s searchlight, Bourne drove in sudden spurts down alleyways and the less crowded narrow streets—south, always southHe grabbed a flare from the army vehicle’s floor, pulled the release string, and proceeded to thrust the spitting, hissing, blinding burst of fire into the hands and faces of the hysterical racing stragglers who tried to climb on boardThe sight of the constantly pulsating flame so close to their eyes was enough; each screamed and recoiled in terror, no doubt thinking yet another explosive had detonated in his or her immediate vicinity A graveled road! The gates to the American compound were less than a hundred yards away The graveled road? Soaked with fuel! The plastic charges had not gone off—but they would in a matter of moments, creating a wall of fire, enveloping the jeep and its driver! With the accelerator pressed to the floor, Jason raced to the gateIt was deserted—and the iron barrier was down! He slammed on the brakes, skidding to a stop, hoping beyond reasonable hope that no sparks would fly out and ignite the gravelPlacing the spewing flare on the metal floor, he swiftly removed two grenades from his pockets—grenades he was loath to part with—pulled the pins, and hurled both toward the gateThe massive explosions blew the barricade away and instantly set the graveled road on fire, the leaping flames immediate—enveloping him! He had no choice; he threw the hot flare away and sped through the tunnel of fire into Novgorod’s final largest compoundAs he did so the concrete guardhouse at the “English” border exploded; glass, stone and shards of metal shot out and up everywhere He had been so filled with anxiety on their way to the crossing into “Spain” that he barely recalled the diminutive replicas of the “American” cities and towns, much less the fastest routes that led to the tunnelHe had merely followed young Benjamin’s harsh shouted commands, but he did remember that the California-bred trainer kept referring to the “coast road—like Route One, man, up to Carmel!” It was, of course, those streets closest to the Volkhov, which in turn became, in no order of geographical sequence, a shoreline in “Maine,” the Potomac River of “Washington,” and the northern waters of Long Island Sound that housed the naval base at “New London The madness had reached “America Police cars, their sirens wailing, sped through the streets, men shouting into radios as people in various stages of dress and undress ran out of buildings and stores, screaming about the terrible earthquake that had hit this leg of the Volkhov, one even more severe than the catastrophe in ArmeniaEven with the surest knowledge of devastating infiltration, the leaders of Novgorod could not reveal the tru | | Thursday, December 23rd, 2010 | | 5:56 am |

It requires a gentlewoman—a Julia @@@@@ It requires a gentlewoman—a Julia BertramYou will undertake it, I hope?” turning to her with a look of anxious entreaty, which softened her a little; but while she hesitated what to say, her brother again interposed with Miss Crawford’s better claim “No, no, Julia must not be AmeliaIt is not at all the part for her She would not like itShe would not do wellShe is too tall and robustAmelia should be a small, light, girlish, skipping figureIt is fit for Miss Crawford, and Miss Crawford onlyShe looks the part, and I am persuaded will do it admirably Without attending to this, Henry Crawford continued his supplication “You must oblige us,” said he, “indeed you mustWhen you have studied the character, I am sure you will feel it suit you Tragedy may be your choice, but it will certainly appear that comedy chuses youYou will be to visit me in prison with a basket of 120 Mansfield Park provisions; you will not refuse to visit me in prison? I think I see you coming in with your basket” The influence of his voice was feltJulia wavered; but was he only trying to soothe and pacify her, and make her overlook the previous affront? She distrusted himThe slight had been most determined He was, perhaps, but at treacherous play with herShe looked suspiciously at her sister; Maria’s countenance was to decide it: if she were vexed and alarmed—but Maria looked all serenity and satisfaction, and Julia well knew that on this ground Maria could not be happy but at her expenseWith hasty indignation, therefore, and a tremulous voice, she said to him, “You do not seem afraid of not keeping your countenance when I come in with a basket of provisions— though one might have supposed—but it is only as Agatha that I was to be so overpowering!” She stopped—Henry Crawford looked rather foolish, and as if he did not know what to sayTom Bertram began again— “Miss Crawford must be AmeliaShe will be an excellent Amelia “Do not be afraid of my wanting the character,” cried Julia, with angry quickness: “I am not to be Agatha, and I am sure I will do nothing else; and as to Amelia, it is of all parts in the world the most disgusting to meAn odious, little, pert, unnatural, impudent girlI have always protested against comedy, and this is comedy in its worst | | Sunday, December 19th, 2010 | | 5:58 am |
@@@@@He’s a professional killer now in his @@@@@He’s a professional killer now in his sixties, rumored to be ill, but still possessed with a terrible hatredHe’s a man of many faces, many sides, some loved by those who have reasons to love him, others detested by those who consider him the essence of evil—and depending on the view, all have their reasons for being correctI am an example of one who has Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 131 experienced both viewpoints, but then my world is hardly yours, as you rightly suggested, St “But the hatred that obsesses Carlos grows like a cancer in his aging brainOne man drew him out; one man tricked him, usurped his kills, taking credit for the Jackal’s work, kill after kill, driving Carlos mad when he was trying to correct the record, trying to maintain his supremacy as the ultimate assassinThat same man was responsible for the death of his lover—but one far more than a lover, the woman who was his keel, his beloved since childhood in Venezuela, his colleague in all thingsThat single man, one of hundreds, perhaps thousands sent out by governments everywhere, was the only one who ever saw his face—as the JackalThe man who did all this was a product of American intelligence, a strange man who lived a deadly lie every day of his life for three yearsAnd Carlos will not rest until that man is punished The man is Jason Bourne Squinting, stunned by the Frenchman’s story, Prefontaine leaned forward over the table“Who is Jason Bourne?” he asked “My husband, David Webb,” replied Marie “Oh, my God,” whispered the judge“May I have a drink, please?” John St“Ronald!” “Yes, boss-mon!” cried from within the guard whose strong hands had held his employer’s shoulders an hour ago in Villa Twenty “Bring us some whisky and brandy, pleaseThe bar should be stocked The orange sun in the east suddenly took fire, its rays penetrating what was left of the sea mists of dawnThe silence around the table was broken by the soft, heavily accented words of the old Frenchman“I am not used to such service,” he said, looking aimlessly beyond the railing of the balcony at the progressively bright waters of the Caribbean“When something is asked for, I always think the task should be mine “Not anymore,” said Marie quietly, then after a beat, adding, “ “I suppose one could live with that name “Why not here?” “Qu’est-ce que vous dites, madame?” “Think abou | | Saturday, December 18th, 2010 | | 5:58 am |
