This is one of the poems Taika chose for his selections in the book 'The Poem I Turn To'.

It's called "Night on the Island" by Pablo Neruda.
The whole night long I have slept with you next to the sea, on the island. You were wild and gentle between pleasure and dreams, between fire and water. Perhaps very late our dreams were united in the heights or in the depths, on high like branches moved by the same wind, down below like red roots touching each other. Perhaps your dream broke away from mine and searched for me across the darkness of the sea as before when you did not yet exist, when without noticing you I sailed right past you, and your eyes searched for those things which now —bread, wine, love and anger— I give you by the handful because you are the goblet that was waiting for the gifts of my life. I have slept with you the whole night long, while the dark earth turns with the living and the dead, and when I awoke suddenly in the middle of the darkness my arm was round your waist. Neither night nor our dreams could separate us. I have slept with you and when I awoke your mouth coming out of your dream gave me the taste of the earth, of sea-water, of seaweed, from the depths of your life, and I received your kiss moistened by the dawn as if it came to me from the sea which encircles us.

love this version of Rilke by Delmore Schwartz, written the year before he died
Archaic Bust of Apollo (After Rilke) We cannot know the indescribable face Where the eyes like apples ripened. Even so, His torso has a candelabra’s glow, His gaze, contained as in a mirror’s grace, Shines within it. Otherwise his breast Would not be dazzling. Nor would you recognize The smile that moves along his curving thighs, There where love’s strength is caught within its nest. This stone would not be broken, but intact Beneath the shoulders’ flowing cataract, Nor would it glisten like a stallion’s hide, Brimming with radiance from every side As a star sparkles. Now it is dawn once more. All places scrutinize you. You must be reborn. (1965)

FYI OpenAlex has the APC (listed and paid) in their metadata for many articles. Very helpful!

A spokesperson for T&F said “Researchers should be free to communicate their work in the journal that best suits their research, and proposing to cap [open access] funding threatens that freedom to publish."

Bold move to set prices high and then complain about freedom when people can't pay.
Rising Publication Costs Strain Researchers
Open access publishing has led to researchers paying thousands of dollars to publish their work, limiting funds for research and leaving scientists with hard choices.

As a child, my dream job was to be responsible for taping the plastic dust jackets into the hardbacks at our local public library. Sadly, the library closed when I was 14, so I've had to take work as a dentist. Looking inside other people's gobs is less fun than you'd think.

the endless ground of your own deep pulse,

Rainer Maria Rilke, tr. David Young
Be ahead of all partings, as if they were behind you, like the winter that’s just past. For among the winters is one so endlessly winter that your heart, if you overwinter, can survive it. Be dead in Eurydice, always—, climb with more song, climb with more praise, back up into pure relation. Here in the kingdom of decay, among what’s wasting, be a tingling glass that shatters itself with sound. Exist while you know the state of nonexistence, the endless ground of your own deep pulse, so that you can fulfill it completely this one time. With the used-up, as well as the muffled and useless stock of full nature, the unreckoned sum, count yourself in, rejoicing, and then demolish the count.

One of my favorite authors. I’m putting this in my list.

First read of the year: Jeanette Winterson’s ‘One Aladdin Two Lamps’. I loved the way in which Winterson uses the One Thousand and One Nights stories, and the figure of Aladdin, to make the reader question what matters in life and to raise the idea of changing endings.

Possibly the least eventful cover The Lost World has ever been graced with?
A coloured illustration based on a still from the film The Lost World, in which Malone gestures vaguely to Paula White. Cover to the photoplay edition of the novel.
