My father took me
to Schindler's list; he had a hard-
pressed point to make
and not the merits of pink over red.
blood runs no matter how it is mixed.
he wanted to show me Göth,
and Helen's power over him:
men do not destroy what
they most enjoy,
at least,
not completely.

What is pink but diluted red. One is viscous where the other is runny. I find this fraught with dimensions that I will visit again and again.

"blood runs no matter how it's mixed."
ReplyDeleteThat, I will never forget.
A delicious word you might throw in your bucket is "Rose Madder"
also:
Alizarin crimson
Quinacridone rose
Puce is not a very tasty name but it's in that spectrum
I showed my daughter Schindler's List, hadn't watched it since it came out in the theater (1993). It's such a tremendous film for a Hollywood production. But Spielberg had a vested interest for sure.
Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goethe was every bit as good a villain as Gary Oldman, Micky Rourke. Robert DiNero in Cape Fear and Angel Heart. Heath Ledger's Joker.
Got side tracked, sorry.
"men do not destroy what they most enjoy" - one for the book there.
That's 10 kinds of true.
...until, until you can't have it. Then, you destroy it so no one else can.
I like the use of rose font.
A while back, in one of my many (some say constant state of) ADD, I considered the concept of "emotive text."
Simple: write words in the color of their meaning. It's subtle and it adds a new dimension to writing. I looked up the concept in the US Patent Office and I'm relatively sure I could do it. But not without forking over $10-20k USD. Better that I just do it first, be successful, then sue the crap out of the first person who tries to steal it. Or make them disappear.
The comments were every bit as good as the narrative as well. I intend on sustaining that.
You guys rock!
