отбой

удивительное дело, сколько ни даешь себе обещаний, лечь в 11 не удается никак. и при этом к 12 часам оказываешься в постели без всяких обещаний, как по сигналу "отбой".

noir etc

те же самые Robert Mitchum и Jane Russell, что и в His Kind of Woman (1951), а вот насколько Macao (1952) необыкновенно дурее.

кстати о Picnic at Hanging Rock: впервые захотелось тут же фильм посмотреть еще раз после окончания, ну и после того как просмотрел статью в Wiki.

новая народная пестня

начиная с Гл. 6, "Новая народная песня" (стр. 285) цитировать быкова больше невозможно, нужно переписывать подряд. "без царя в голове" - severe understatement.

Madison Cawein

In 1912 Cawein was forced to sell his Old Louisville home, St James Court (a two-and-a-half story brick house built in 1901, which he had purchased in 1907), as well as some of his library, after losing money in the 1912 stock market crash. In 1914 the Authors Club of New York City placed him on their relief list.

The link between his work and Eliot's was pointed out by Canadian academic Robert Ian Scott in The Times Literary Supplement in 1995. The following year Bevis Hillier drew more comparisons in The Spectator (London) with other poems by Cawein; he compared Cawein's lines "...come and go/Around its ancient portico" with Eliot's "...come and go/talking of Michelangelo."
...
Although he gained an international reputation, he has been eclipsed as the genre of poetry in which he worked became increasingly outmoded.
