Lucubration of the man from Utz

Comments on a wide variety of subjects from the widow of the "Mad Genius"

Saint Patrick's Day


Between a screaming sky and the pungent earth

A quite grey twilight rises over the land of

Passionate men and their too fertile women,

Who hide violent souls in self-fearing bodies.

Binding their nature to a petty God’s censure

Giving home to the snakes that were forced from the land.


From the restless hills beats a savage rhythm.

Through the green black copse cross the velvet fields

A steaming horse beats a darkening pasture.

Unwelcome intruder, I must cross it alone

He taunts me in darkness but from behind

Weak from confinement he will not confront.


Through damp mist and peat smoke 

Winds the road down the valley;

Past malt fragrant farmyards reeking with living

From the base busy ferment under piles of straw.

Past farm house and cottage to the bank of the river,

The vein of the hills gushing into the sea.

About Me

My photo
the man from Utz
boston, MA
The author of this blog lives in a wonderful apartment in one of Boston's most pleasant streets. It happened by accident. He is very happy. He reminds you that we are responsible for creating the world we want to live in, that happiness is something we do, not something we find, and that for the creatively willful, believing is seeing. He enjoys epigrams, only listens to live music, asks how old babies are and plays with dogs. Other peoples babies, and other peoples dogs. He considers his blog to be a work of fiction; "fictionalize it, said the mad genius," but assures you that every word is true! It's rather like life, he supposes.
