An irish airman foresees his death from blocsdelletres on Vimeo. I know that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate, Those that I guard I do not love; My country is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan's poor, No likely end could bring them loss Or leave them happier than before. Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds; I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years to come seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behind In balance with this life, this death.

A Crazed Girl by William Butler Yeats "That crazed girl improvising her music. Her poetry, dancing upon the shore, Her soul in division from itself Climbing, falling She knew not where"...

I handed the camera to Kate today. We were in Burnham Beeches, just outside London (map/satphoto). The colours are incredible this year. Another thing I ll miss in evergreen Vancouver Island. I was trying to persuade her to sing her song The Falling of the Leaves (a Yeats poem she set to music - you can hear it on her Myspace page) so that I could use it as a soundtrack for the other moments I shot all around the woods. But this is better. I think I m going to give her the camera more often. Alternative file types: Quicktime / Flash ( if player above doesn t work)

Uh oh, it looks like the E-Verse Boys are on the run again, and this time they've joined the circus. Last week, they broadcast from an old door. This week, it's an ironing board. No lie. Can you believe it? Production values are plunging in the E-Verse Universe. But stop by and and say hi, and hear Hilbert read Yeats's "The Circus Animals' Desertion" and top five circus superstitions, watch Vampire Circus (1972) and clips from the top five circus movies, and Paul takes you away with his Follies, where you can see clown cars and cat circuses. It's a three-ring circus! So step right up . . . .
