]]> Comment on concordance by Pessoa http://dunja.edublogs.org/2009/05/04/concordance/comment-page-1/#comment-21 Pessoa Tue, 05 May 2009 17:55:15 +0000 http://dunja.edublogs.org/?p=31#comment-21 Like you, I'm intrigued by the way words respond to each other and as you say "Lead one another astray." That a concordance might be squeezing the universe into a point (like the Big Crunch) is also intriguing. The context we once knew, under its own weight, collapsed to a dot the size of zero. Under this gravity, we can only guess at what we'd never see aloud.

It's also one of the major themes in Eliot's Love Song of A. J. Prufrock (which I am fascinated by, as you might have already noticed :) - but what is specific for this poem, is that the main character is wondering about this very fact, he's totally obsessed by it, he knows it makes no sense to "act" (what exactly means "to act" here depends on an interpretation of the poem), and that bothers him... ahh, i always end up with Eliot or Cortazar - that's probably cause their works are so genius that they are able to cover millions of questions, and cause my scope of read literature is so poor that not much of other stuff falls to my mind :d Unfortunately, I haven’t read ‘Portrait of a lady’ :( But yes, now when I think of this theme, it might be quite frequent in literature.

If you've read James' 'Portrait of a lady', I think they're both a hell of a lot like Isabel Archer... But then again she's probably the stereotype of the seemingly mad anti-heroine. Any thoughts? :) PS. Thanks for your mail! The mix isnt anything special, more like something I plan to do a lot from now on. But I still hope you'll enjoy it ofcawz... heh!

But somehow, there is some similarity too, I think... you know in what: in their passivity, this watching from a distance everything, including yourself, like it's all a movie happening in front of your eyes and you either can't bother or just *cannot* (re)act. But I still have to think about that :) P.S. So cool you know both of the books! :D Yes, there is indeed a difference between L.B. and O.O.

He can seriously write well (and do more than moan about sex, women and death, haha) :) The Julio Cortazar novel was more about Oliveira being a very 'bon chic bon genre' bohemien if i remember correctly... So I beg to differ on that point. This is seriously one of the novels I enjoyed the most one long, hot summer long ago.
