| LA | NY A Special Edition of The East Village Douglas Messerli Vanity Vanity on its journey to take heart forges a reproachment with emptiness, disciplining alternation by taking footsteps wo where they have come from. In night it hides even from the fireflies and refuses to recognize sleep as a refuge from its conscious lies. Things must never be stirred up if one is seeking the stagnate reality of praise. Rise to face the day's hunger, trotting out that little path between where you have been before and where you will go again. [from Gabriele Frasca] August 25, 1998 Next |
