And always melbourne, melbourne, melbourne, over and over the same photo in glaring greens and reds, of a tram, huffy, blunderous, manoeuvring itself with pole akimbo round the tight corner where bourke street enters spring.

Well, basically there are two sorts of opera," said nanny, who also had the true witch's ability to be confidently expert on the basis of no experience whatsoever. "there's your heavy opera, where basically people sing foreign and it goes like "oh oh oh, i am dyin', oh i am dyin', oh oh oh, that's what i'm doin'", and there's your light opera, where they sing in foreign and it basically goes "beer! beer! beer! beer! i like to drink lots of beer!", although sometimes they drink champagne instead. that's basically all of opera, reely.

Opera was an enormous part of my childhood. my parents were both opera buffs, and they met in the box seat of an opera performance. and i also was a boy soprano, so before puberty hit, i was onstage playing a wide variety of orphans and urchins in all sorts of operas, and the sheer melodrama of their stories was just always appealing to me.

Going to europe, someone had written, was about as final as going to heaven. a mystical passage to another life, from which no-one returned the same. those returning in such ships were invincible, for they had managed it and could reflect ever after on anne hathaway's cottage or the tower of london with a confidence that did generate at sydney. there was nothing mythic at sydney; momentous objects, beings and events all occurred abroad or in the elsewhere of books.

The provincial intellectual is doomed to arguing at low level... there is still no australian literary world, not in sydney, melbourne, adelaide. it is some consolation to realise that there is no literary world in birmingham or los angeles either. i have heard there is one in montreal, but i don't believe it. the literary world is in london and new york, the only cities big enough to sustain magazines which can afford to reject copy.

Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Art Looks Sculpture
The truth is . . . that the great artists of the world are never puritans, and seldom ever ordinarily respectable. no virtuous man - that is, virtuous in the ymca sense - has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.

Secrets of the heart. we swallow hard against them every day, forcing them deep inside us. there they sit, growing heavier, festering. given enough time, they cannot help but crush the heart that holds them.

I'm not a movie person. they're collaborations of the worst kind. you must compromise yourself to many interests that are venal and crass and do not have your best interests at heart.
