horsemouth travels (hopefully)

horsemouth was dreaming he was at a party. dave and claudia were there and the girl from down the road. it seemed to be her party (at some point she arrived with food). there seemed to be some sort of mystery investigation going on (but as usual horsemouth couldn't make head nor tail of it).

a brief narrative of my life from the beginning to the present day

horsemouth has been researching early autobiographies. montaigne and someone mentioned in the introduction to montaigne's complete essays mathematician, doctor, occultist girolamo cardano (anglicized as jerome cardan). horsemouth has read some of his de vita propria liber (the book of my life). 

horsemouth was thinking about his favourite books to read. carlo levi's christ stopped at eboli would be one, abra tertz's  a voice from the chorus would be another, rousseau's reveries of a solitary walker would be a third. books about little other than the author. 

yesterday (1909) blok was in spoleto picking the epitaph he would use to end his italian poems. it was also the day on which marion brown recorded geechee recollections (horsemouth had forgotten this - ok yes he was also recording today in 1973 so that's al well and good). 

today horsemouth travels (hopefully). it is a grey morning. in a bit horsemouth will check if it will clear up (he suspects it will).
