You alone in Europe are not ancient oh Christianity The most modern European is you Pope Pius X And you whom the windows observe shame keeps you From entering a church and confessing this morning You read the prospectuses the catalogues the billboards that sing aloud That's the poetry this morning and for the prose there are the newspapers There are the 25 centime serials full of murder mysteries Portraits of great men and a thousand different headlines ("Zone") ↗

Lately I've been falling asleep listening to 'Common One' by Van Morrison, specifically the song 'Summertime in England.'

When you look like you stepped out of a catalog, that's never good. People shouldn't succumb to trend, they should interpret trend. ↗
