The published works of a spare-time writer. Wednesday, January 2, 2008. More Pus and Decadence. Nothing Like the Sun. 8220;And, childish, I am put to school of night. For to seek light beyond the reach of light.”. How doth WS the married man? 8220;The flesher shooes flies off with both hands before chopping his stinking beef.”. 8220;The city grew a head, glowing over limbs of towers and houses in the at-scurrying night, and its face was drawn, its eyes sunken, it vomited living matter down to ooze over t...

New Leaves: October 2007
http://strabismic.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
The published works of a spare-time writer. Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Signpost [last number] 1. There are many different kinds of charm, more than I have described below. The charm of Lolita is aloof, childish, sarcastic. It is full of mockery and hard-to-reach places. It also has a sort of breathless resignation to the pleasures of adulthood. The charm of Catherine Moorland is quiet and prudent. It is unthreatening but it also provocative, and it has hard questions for older people. All of this may exp...

The published works of a spare-time writer. Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Hey My Droogs and Little Malchikiwicks. Well well for your Michael Trevor yes the time's been going fastly, O my far-away friends, and many sunny happenings have been going on over this-here little point of action, no mistaking that my friends. I went to Ottawa. Yes! And the journey then, o my droogs! And all this and many more besides, o my readers in your ugly chairs! A game of batter-ball, with all the pyjama-panted players and so ...

New Leaves: Some info. on my blogging
http://strabismic.blogspot.com/2007/09/what-i-do-here-and-why-i-do-it.html
The published works of a spare-time writer. Tuesday, September 4, 2007. Some info. on my blogging. Below is a bit of information about the topics I favour on this blog. (There is also a general welcome. I would like to think that metaphor is the one true link between the crafts of the intellect and the arts of the imagination, the fibre in the knot that binds the threads of science and poetry. There is a faint possibility that this view is a bit fanciful. But I like metaphors anyway. I also l...Of educat...

New Leaves: March 2007
http://strabismic.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
The published works of a spare-time writer. Saturday, March 24, 2007. I wonder if it would be wise for a school teacher to hand out “class rules” of the following kind ie. with plausible-seeming objections attached. The idea is that they are highly likely to provoke students into thought, because they hold out the possibility of real gains (ie. a change to the rules) for anyone who thinks carefully about them. What would other teachers think? 8220;The class rules are in bold. If noone comes up with g...

The published works of a spare-time writer. Wednesday, September 5, 2007. Mapping out Science and Literature. I want to study the intersection of science and literature. But what does this mean. There are a few basic divisions to make here, and they help to map out this odd and interesting field of study. Some of the following divisions are interdependent (it would be nice to get rid of this interdependency; in the meantime, richness takes priority over clarity). Parallel cases and the rest. A good way t...

New Leaves: February 2007
http://strabismic.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
The published works of a spare-time writer. Saturday, February 24, 2007. It was all very exciting, and I hope to do it all again very soon, in other exotic and dangerous parts of the world; but first I have to have eat a proper meal and get a good night’s sleep.

New Leaves: Nothing Like The Sun: Pus and Decadence
http://strabismic.blogspot.com/2008/01/nothing-like-sun-pus-and-decadence.html
The published works of a spare-time writer. Wednesday, January 2, 2008. Nothing Like The Sun: Pus and Decadence. The next post was meant to be a review of Anthony Burgess's Nothing Like the Sun. But really it is just an excuse to quote Anthony Burgess as he imitates Shakespeare. Here are some of the juicy bits, unspoiled by my ramblings:. Croshabell, oaklings, footsticks, cinques, moxibustion, dittany! Not one fart do I give, nay, for all thy great tally. Wouldst test it, then? Posted by Michael Bycroft.
