from sic itur ad astra

We have never been as happy or as miserable. Our quarrels are portentous, tremendous, violent. We are both wrathful to the point of madness; we desire death. My face is ravaged by tears, the veins on my temple swell. Hugo’s mouth trembles. One cry from me brings him suddenly into my arms, sobbing. And then he desires me physically. We cry and kiss and come at the same moment. And the next moment we analyze and talk rationally. It is like the life of the Russians in The Idiot. It is hysteria. In cooler moments I wonder at the extravagance of our feelings. Dullness and peace are forever over.

I really believe that if I were not a writer, not a creator, not an experimenter, I might have been a very faithful wife. I think highly of faithfulness. But my temperament belongs to the writer, not to the woman. Such a separation may seem childish, but it is possible. Subtract the overintensity, the sizzling of ideas, and you get a woman who loves perfection. And faithfulness is one of the perfections. It seems stupid and unintelligent to me now because I have bigger plans in mind.

A startlingly white face, burning eyes. June Mansfield, Henry’s wife. As she came towards me from the darkness of my garden into the light of the doorway I saw for the first time the most beautiful woman on earth. Years ago, when I tried to imagine a true beauty, I had created an image in my mind of just that woman.

Her beauty drowned me. As I sat in front of her I felt that I would do anything mad for her, anything she asked of me. Henry faded. She was color, brilliance, strangeness.

I want to run out and kiss her fantastic beauty, kiss it and say, “You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. You will always be part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we have shared at some time the same imaginings, the same madness, the same stage.

“You are the only woman who ever answered the demands of my imagination.” She answers, “It is a good thing that I am going away. You would soon unmask me. I am powerless before a woman. I do not know how to deal with a woman.”

In the café I see ashes under the skin of her face. Disintegration. What terrible anxiety I feel. I want to put my arms around her. I feel her receding into death and I am willing to enter death to follow her, to embrace her. She is dying before my eyes. Her tantalizing, somber beauty is dying. Her strange, manlike strength.

He has hurt her pride by desiring her opposite: ugly, common, passive women. He cannot endure her positivism, her strength. I hate Henry now, heartily. I hate men who are afraid of women’s strength. Probably Jean loved her strength, her destructive power. For June is destruction.

What, then, has she moved in me? I have wanted to possess her as if I were a man, but I have also wanted her to love me with the eyes, the hands, the senses that only women have. It is a soft and subtle penetration.

I said, “After all, if there is an explanation of the mystery it is this: The love between women is a refuge and an escape into harmony. In the love between man and woman there is resistance and conflict. Two women do not judge each other, brutalize each other, or find anything to ridicule. They surrender to sentimentality, mutual understanding, romanticism. Such love is death, I’ll admit.”

/* Coloured Folders
a CSS snippet by Lithou



This will allow the colouring of the top level folders into sections that “drop down” when opened.
This is currently set to be the same colour regardless of theme, but you can change that by copy/pasting the colors from the root section into light/dark theme then changing them according to preference.
The colours are rainbow coloured and 16 in number by default. They are shades such that white/lightgrey text shows up the best. Some have a bit let contrast (the lighter blue and the yellow) but should still be visible. Again, change them however you would like.

inspirations – Pornography

the songs on “pornography” were written either “stream of consciousness” (“streams of extreme drunkenness”!) style on an old typewriter in my bedroom at home in crawley, or on torn scraps of yellow paper on hallucinating early mornings walking through and around horrible bits of london in cold december 1982. they range from acutely personal observations on my immediate surroundings and friends, to general rants against the futility of everything and everyone, to back to the horrors going on inside... it is very difficult to explain the songs, as even within each verse of any one, there are several layers of (logically) unconnected ideas. but i will colour...

100 years – is pure self loathing and worthlessness, and contains probably the key line – the line that underpinned this period of writing: “it doesn't matter if we all die”...everything is empty. this song is despair

a short term effect – is about a drug and it's effect. short-term i thought.

the hanging garden – is something like about the purity and hate of animals fucking, and i think

siamese twins is about the hate and purity of people fucking too...

the figurehead – was a grotesque skull sculpture i discovered in the disused asylum we used in the “charlotte sometimes” video. i took it home to talk to – to confess to? and this song is about guilt.

a strange day – was how i would feel if it would only be the end of the world – and...

cold – is another song about another drug and it's grip...

pornography, the last song, and in fact the last song i wrote for a while, is fueled by the same self-mockery, self-hate, that burned in 100 years, but it is, if only very slightly, a little more hopeful than the others... i am escaping (i escaped) by blaming someone else. a murder or suicide? “i must fight this sickness...”

“pornography”, an album that almost chokes on itself, remains a dairy of one of my blackest times. but it's one of my favourites!!!!

1.《Pornography》：抑郁与痛苦的“腐化”之路

《Pornography》是The Cure最具代表性的黑暗专辑之一，标志着乐队情感表达的巅峰与极限。1982年发布的这张专辑充满了深沉的忧郁、孤独感和对生命的绝望。其音乐风格以沉重、阴郁、低沉为特点，歌词充满了对人性的质疑、对存在的痛苦以及对社会的疏离感。Robert Smith的嗓音在这张专辑中表现出一种极度的压抑与绝望，与音乐的音效配合无缝衔接，共同营造了一种几乎无法承受的情感重量。

在《Pornography》中，情感的“腐化”表现得尤为突出。歌曲如《One Hundred Years》展现了对生命无望的情绪，歌词“It's been one hundred years, and still I'm crying”传达了无尽的苦痛与内心的纠结。这种情感的“腐化”通过音乐的结构、音效的设计和歌唱方式得以完全体现。吉他和合成器的重复性音效，以及密集的打击乐，使得整张专辑的氛围充满了压迫感和黑暗色彩。

此外，专辑中几乎没有明确的旋律，许多歌曲呈现出的是一种渐进式的情感变化，音效和节奏的变化为歌曲赋予了更多的不确定性与不安感。这种音乐语言的“腐化”不仅仅是情感上的剖析，也是一种艺术上的追求：它挑战了传统摇滚音乐的结构，打破了旋律与节奏的传统框架，使得情感得以更为深刻和多维的表现。

2.情感的裂变与“重生”：从《Disintegration》到《Wish》

随着时间的推移，The Cure的情感表达发生了显著的变化。《Disintegration》是The Cure的另一张关键专辑，虽然它的情感依旧复杂且阴郁，但其中不乏对爱的探索和情感的反思。特别是专辑中的《Lovesong》与《Pictures of You》，这些歌曲传达出了一种情感上的成熟和对爱的向往，这与《Pornography》的绝望感形成了鲜明的对比。

《Disintegration》展现了乐队音乐上的“重生”，情感不再是单纯的压抑与痛苦，更多的是对内心复杂情感的多角度表达。尤其在《Lovesong》一曲中，虽然其旋律简洁明快，但其情感却显得深刻和充满了渴望，歌曲中的音效不仅强调了情感的深度，也让旋律变得更加丰富。《Pictures of You》则通过清晰的旋律线条和层次分明的音效设计，讲述了一段爱情的回忆与怀旧，使得情感的表达变得更加生动与真切。

The Cure乐队的音乐美学风格特征、历史继承与创新 https://music.douban.com/review/16472771

1

The first track off of 1982’s Pornography, The Cure open up their gothic “piece de resistance” with an innovative wildly flanging guitar, and African polyrhythmics. Smith’s opening words: “It doesn’t matter if we all die” are a sampling of the bleak existentialism and in many cases pessimism that will dot the album. The song is about the drollness of post industrial life and at some points a parallel to the book 1984 by George Orwell in allusions to police patrolling streets under the night and shooting rebels down.

While Smith has never come out and said that the song (or its title) were inspired by The ‘Hundred Years War’, it should be noted that The Hundred Years War was a long-running bloody conflict between England and France about which family line should have the French throne. It is possible that the song’s metaphors of personal suffering are being compared to the Hundred Years War (or simply its title).

“One Hundred Years” showed up on the 10” single and double 7” gatefold single of “The Hanging Garden” (often labeled as A Single). However, a UK promotional 7” was released that put “One Hundred Years” on the A-side and “The Hanging Garden” as its B-side.

2

The second track on the Cure’s gothic milestone, Pornography, is centrally about the “short term effect” of drug-taking, something the band had been doing a lot of during the production of the album (and its predecessor, Faith), although, on another level, it deals with the same themes of the shortness and futility of life that are touched on on a number of Pornography’s other tracks.

Sound-wise, it continues in the same vein as “One Hundred Years”, sustaining the already-intense atmosphere with a quick, driving drum pattern and screaming, backwards guitar noises. The major triad that opens the track also strikes an unsettling dissonance with the dark, whirring backing.

3

“The Hanging Garden” was the sole commercial single release from The Cure’s album Pornography. Two releases of it were under the title A Single. It reached #34 in the UK, becoming their second-highest charting single there at the time – until the following year when “The Walk” broke the top 20.

Cure frontman Robert Smith said in a fanzine, “The Hanging Garden is something like about the purity and hate of animals fucking.” While it’s not very specific, that’s all that’s really known about the song’s meaning. However, the title may be a reference to The Hanging Gardens in Mumbai, India, which is well known for its view of the Arabian Sea and its hedges, which are carved in the shapes of animals.

4

After stating that “The Hanging Garden” was written about “the purity and hate of animals fucking”, he added “And I think “Siamese Twins” is about the hate and purity of people fucking too…”

Some fans believe the song is a metaphorical description of a quite psychologically traumatic first sexual intercourse, losing virginity to a prostitute, as seen through the prism of narrator’s twisted, morbid, traumatized imagination in a style somewhat resembling stream of consciousness, involving a series of striking images, torn out of time just like our memories are. He painfully recalls every single detail of the past night over and over, exaggerating it to the point where narrative becomes nightmarish and disturbing. The name of the song is a metaphor for a heterosexual intercourse, where a man and a woman become intertwined as if they were a single creature, just as Siamese Twins are, and, in case of the narrator, start hating each other, just as the aforementioned Siamese Twins might.

“Siamese Twins” is one of the instrumentally lighter tracks on the album, with a sonic emptiness akin to what is heard on Seventeen Seconds and Faith, but Smith’s tortured vocals and Lol Tolhurst’s pounding drum cycle help sustain its dramatic intensity.

5

In a fanzine, Robert Smith shared that “The Figurehead” was inspired by “a grotesque skull sculpture I discovered in the disused asylum we used in the “Charlotte Sometimes” video. I took it home to talk to – to confess to – and this song is about guilt.”

6

“A Strange Day”, a song about, according to Robert Smith, “how I would feel if it would only be the end of the world”, is backed by the same driving force that appeared on “A Short Term Effect”, only this time it’s slightly slower. The drums and prominent bassline are also reminiscent of the band’s 1981 single, “Charlotte Sometimes”.

7

Introduced by an ominous cello line (played by Robert Smith himself), crashing, plodding drums soon pull “Cold” into a synth-laden abyss of sound. The track is slow and formidable, with lyrics dealing with the effect of drugs in Pornography’s uniquely ambiguous manner.

8

The Cure’s landmark gothic rock album, Pornography, closes with perhaps the group’s most harrowing and difficult track to date. It opens with a cacophony of voices whose words are near-impossible to make out, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere that mirrors Robert Smith’s drug-induced schizophrenia. Lol Tolhurst’s pounding toms gradually fade in, followed by a menacing organ and bass sound. Smith’s vocals and dissonant guitar bursts then add fuel to the fire of this hellish concoction.

The lyrical content is akin to that of the album’s opening track, “One Hundred Years”, a series of images which don’t really connect or flow in any way, painting a picture of violent and chaotic destruction. The precise meaning of the lyrics is frequently debated amongst Cure fans, as most of Pornography was written streams of consciousness while Smith was high or drunk, making the words extremely difficult to interpret.

#还活着 #womenwriter #queerwriter 阅读难度：★★☆☆☆

新作者的第一部发表的短篇集。作者是亚裔跨妹，这本某种意义上是trans lit，主角都是20来岁的酷儿。比较有趣的是作者有时候很不愿意gender她的人物，一般故事进行到了一半以上才会有context clue告诉你人物的性别。比较集中的体现了“酷儿知识分子”这个demographic的经历，就voice来讲确实是比较清新，可以关注一下这位作者今后的发展。
