The Truth Is Out There (Maybe)
The Truth Is Out There (Maybe)
I am reading yet another book titled “The Four Agreements” (a very good book, by the way) in which the writer Miguel Ruiz posits what he has come to experience as The Truth. I have read many such books over the years. I suppose that, if someone were to do what the scientists call a meta-analysis of these books, there would be consistent themes that would emerge.
Some years ago, I had a recurring…

High Flight by John Gillespie Magee Jr.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air ....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Volare in alto
Oh! Come sono sfuggito agli aspri legami terrenie danzato in cielo su garrule ali d’argento;rivolto al sole ho provato la gioia di solcarenuvole violate dai raggi del sole e cento altre coseche tu non puoi nemmeno sognare…Correndo, librandomi in volo, ruotandoalto nel silenzio radioso, tracciando ghirlande,ho inseguito il vento urlante e lanciatole mie ali impazienti in gole sospese…

* With apologies to John Gillespie Magee Jr.'s "High Flight."
† Hectocotylus: a male octopus's specialized tentacle arm used in copulation. I feel confident this is the first time any iteration of this word has been used in a sonnet in the history of the universe.
‡ Rianna belongs to @probablylostrightnow and consumed the astral tadpole.
§ Prodigious thanks to @perahn for assistance with meter, form, and the word hectocotylus.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.

I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I'm letting the randomizer pick my 31 Days 31 Horror Movies this year.
Today's choice was 1983's "House of the Long Shadows," which is free on Tubi.
Author Kenneth Magee bets his publisher Sam Allyson that he can write a Gothic horror novel in less than 24 hours. Allyson sends him to a deserted manor in Wales (which is weirdly devoid of Welsh people), so Magee can write in peace. Instead he finds himself in a Gothic horror novel.
The real reason to watch it is Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and John Carradine on the screen together eating all the scenery.
Live tweets and spoilers below the cut.
Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and John Carradine in the same movie? I've never heard of this, but I'm already very excited.
Desi Arnaz Jr.? What are you doing here?
We've already had a contemporary novel vs. classics debate. It's definitely on a different level on when I have those debates. But I'm excited.
Desi is so outclassed by every one else in this movie.
Okay, Desi interrupting the creepy stationmaster warning him away from the haunted house with “Yes, I've seen the movie,” is pretty funny.
Thank you, horror movie, for having proper lighting. This one candle has made the whole room visible, except for the dark creepy shadows where people can pop out of. Exactly how it's supposed to be.
I love the subtle realization of the fact that this “empty for 40 years house” has been recently dusted.
The set design of this house is absolutely gorgeous.
John Carradine as the creepy caretaker.
Hot blonde from London in a scary mask? How'd she know he was here? (Guess: she's been sent to sabotage Desi.)
Desi's continual movie references are still funny. My spouse is starting to groan at them, though.
Told ya hot blonde was a scam! Creepy John Carradine isn't the creepy caretaker. Oh, noes!
Desi gives no effs about the mystery. Good for him. I'm still convinced the creepy caretakers are part of Allyson's evil plan of evil (and winning a bet).
Peter Cushing! The reveal lighting deserves an award. Also, his cheekbones are amazing.
That black cat scare was hilarious. They scream at the cat like it stabbed someone and then just let it walk away. Don't even say “Oh, it's just a cat.” And nobody tried to pet them despite obviously being a very cute kitty doing their very spooky job.
Hot Blonde (Mary) was hired just to scream at things.
The door just opened and someone walked in. Let's stare at his shadow instead of him! If Vincent Price walked into my house, I would definitely not be staring at shadows.
Hot punch? Is this a thing in Wales? Also, why are all these Welsh people English? Didn't the travelers at the station say all the people in this town hate the English?
I love Vincent Price.
Victoria (lady caretaker) has managed to be creepier than all these horror greats with one line. Girl power!
For Desi to keep claiming that he only cares about writing, he sure is spending a bunch of time trying to figure out the mystery.
Why are they making out?!? She's convinced they're locked in a home with murderers and no way to escape, but she's making out with Desi Arnaz Jr.? I mean, shoot your shot, girlie pop, but this is maybe not the time.
Christopher Lee is always amazing. The way he says, “oh,” to Desi's claim to be a writer is amazing. It's so disdainful without saying anything at all.
Peter Cushing being embarrassed about being related to Vincent Price and John Carradine is hilarious to me. Also, Victoria still trying to give people punch is the best running joke. Why is she so obbsessed with this punch? Is it poison?
Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee arguing is amazing. More of this, movie.
The long slow push in on Vincent Price listening to Victoria sing is beautiful. Also amazing is Christopher Lee trying to check his watch subtly while obviously being bored out of his mind.
It's a pretty good gothic movie. It's trying so hard to be great, though. And it's got moments when it's almost there. The costume design is so good. Victoria's mourning garb with her veil of pearls that's only visible when viewed from above is so pretty.
Victoria is very melodramatic, though. I get that almost everybody else on the screen is a Large Ham, but she's definitely the largest. Which is wild considering who else is in this movie.
Peter Cushing is amazing at drunk acting. It's so subtle.
Creepy dolls and maggots in the room, FTW. Still convinced Hot Blonde was hired just to scream.
I thought Roderick had committed suicide solely to scare his dad to death, but apparently, it was someone else? How did he get this dude into his room? This makes no sense. But it's very gothic. I still think this is all setup by Allyson to get Desi to lose the bet.
A 14yo got a girl pregnant and murdered her? That's totally believable and not sus at all.
Wait, Christopher Lee was just driving around in a tux and opera cape when he saw lights in an old house and thought it was a good idea to stop in? I'm not nearly that classy.
Black cat again! This time they upset our cat. He's grumpy this cat keeps making noises.
Now the travelers are back. Their little bit with the woman trying to explain what's going on and the man complaining about the trains was great.
“Piano wire. He must have heard her singing.” The shade of it all!
Holy crap! The male traveler just punched his wife in the face! Then called it a “little tiff.”
Didn't Desi play with that water earlier? And now it's acid or something? Oh cool, the male traveler has been poisoned by Victoria's punch. They lasted a really long time.
Do they really expect us to believe a dude who's been locked in his bedroom for 40 years can easily get his hands on acid and poison? This movie is making less sense as it goes on.
Not Peter Cushing! He's the nicest member of this whole damn family.
The way Vincent Price announced his brother's murder definitely made it sound like he did it.
Wait. Christopher Lee is Roderick?!? YES! Beautiful.
Of course Vincent Price is the real murderer. That makes so much more sense. Also, what is wrong with this axe? Christopher Lee's swung it 400 times and Vincent Price is still screaming. Also, also, Hot Blonde, do something other than just stand there and scream! Get out the house, woman!
Why is she crawling up the stairs instead of standing and running away? She could even kick him down the stairs. He's old and has been locked up for like 40 years.
Never mind. Christopher Lee is handing Desi his ASS.
He also survived falling down all the stairs with an axe in his stomach.
Everybody's alive. Because it was all a trick from Allyson! Also, what the fuck is John Carradine wearing? He looks like a clown.
Vincent Price and Christopher Lee being catty at each other after is amazing. More of that always.
The whole thing was Desi's novel he was writing? That's a good twist actually. I'd buy the book.

High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flunt
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor even eagle flew —
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
– John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
