🎭🤲 Two performers sculpt their own faces with clay to #experiment with expression.
Without speaking, they smash and reshape the material to change their appearance in a playful study of identity. In 1977, the Swiss mime troupe Mummenschanz brought this metaphoric skit to the first season of The Muppet Show.

“[Edwin Muir’s] travels in the 1920s immediately after the end of World War One, and again at the end of World War Two, tell a story of Europe itself at critical points in its history”

One foot in Eden still, I stand
And look across the other land.
The world’s great day is growing late,
Yet strange these fields that we have planted
So long with crops of love and hate…—Edwin Muir, “One Foot in Eden”

Old gods and goddesses who have lived so long
Through time and never found eternity,
Fettered by wasting wood and hollowing hill,
You should have fled our ever-dying song…—Edwin Muir, “To the Old Gods”

“What is remarkable is that Muir did not become a social realist, like WH Auden, Cecil Day-Lewis, Stephen Spender, & other related British poets… who didn’t know anything close to what Muir knew directly about urban poverty”

The houses stir and pluck their roofs and walls
Apart as if in play and fling their stones
Against the sky to make a common arc
And fall again. The conflagrations raise
Their mountainous precipices…—Edwin Muir, “The River”

“On the second Friday of March 2020, before the first UK lockdown had begun… I was listening to the BBC news & boiling pasta for my children’s tea when a line of verse ran through my head”

Barely a twelvemonth after
The seven days war that put the world to sleep,
Late in the evening the strange horses came.
By then we had made our covenant with silence,
But in the first few days it was so still
We listened to our breathing and were afraid.
On the second day
The radios failed; we turned the knobs, no answer.
On the third day a warship passed us, headed north…—Edwin Muir, “The Horses”

“Edwin Muir (1887–1959) is a mysteriously neglected, gorgeous, & emotionally penetrating poet. Of all the many pieces of writing spurred by the Cold War & the threat of nuclear apocalypse… his poem ‘The Horses’ may be the most effective”

I never felt so much
Since I have felt at all
The tingling smell and touch
Of dogrose and sweet briar,
Nettles against the wall,
All sours and sweets that grow
Together or apart…—“A Birthday”, by poet, novelist & translator Edwin Muir (1887–1959), born #OTD, 15 May

Dot Allan’s writing career spanned nearly 40 years, although she was almost completely forgotten until we republished MAKESHIFT and HUNGER MARCH in one volume, edited by Moira Burgess, in 2010 – available in paperback from all good bookshops (& as an ebook from the evil one)

HUNGER MARCH (1934) confines all the action to a single day, with multiple characters & narratives threaded through the novel. MAKESHIFT (1928) “opens with a condemnation of middle-class ladies so pointed and bitter that the reference in HUNGER MARCH pales in comparison”

“It was one of those days when you felt God had forgotten the city…”
The opening line of a 1930s novel of Depression-era Glasgow: not Blake’s THE SHIPBUILDERS or Barke’s MAJOR OPERATION, but HUNGER MARCH by Dot Allan – born #OTD, 13 May 1886 – which preceded them both.

'Plutonium has been described as a physicist’s dream and an engineer’s nightmare because of its superb nuclear properties and confounding physical properties. Compared to uranium, plutonium is more efficient at fission...But it has six different phases, or crystalline forms, that vary in density by up to 25 percent, and modest changes in temperature or pressure can provoke it to go from being as malleable as aluminum to as brittle as glass'
