gubbinal, by wallace stevens

that strange flower, the sun,
is just what you say.
have it your way.

the world is ugly,
and the people are sad.

that tuft of jungle feathers,
that animal eye,
is just what you say.

that savage of fire,
that seed,
have it your way.

the world is ugly,
and the people are sad.

(from stevens, collected poetry & prose, p. 69)

i think that for poets like stevens and williams, using ordinary language in poetry, and in this case, in rhymes, in repetitions and couplets, was innovative.  the theme of this poem was also counter-poetic in their day.  Poets were supposed to write about how beautiful, how exquisitely painful, how inspiring the world, life, love and death, and so forth, are. 

I love wallace stevens on 'the sun.'  In this case, it's 'that strange flower, the sun."  I can live with that phrase for many days, so you may not see me around for a while.  Who needs more?

i haven't had time to read the commentaries lately, you may have noticed.  will hope to return to that at some point in time, just not right now.

'the world is ugly and the people are sad.'  i remember, actually, feeling that when i visited some of the depressed mining communities in 'upstate' pennsylvania when i was a child.  certainly, wallace stevens must have encountered that attitude in his day, but it seems as if he was much more interested in 'that tuft of jungle feathers, that animal eye."

The scope of pharmacy

Pharmacists, hence, are the consultants on drug treatment and are the principal health experts who optimize treatment use to produce patients with beneficial well being results.

I am certainly not the only one who feels that the Ugg Classic Cardy is a great boot. One Cardy owner said that the boots are "comfortable and warm." Another customer said, "These are awesome boots. They are warm, versatile, and very cute. They are also very comfortable and look great with jeans." Speaking of versatility, one customer even went so far as to say that the boots "are great for wearing on vacations while in the mountains or a walk around the mall."
This is a relatively new brand that specializes in ugg boots. Whooga uses only Australian sheepskin with merino wool and their boots are sewn by hand using Australian manufacturing techniques. They offer 9 color options including 2 cool metallic versions.
Ugg is an insanely popular brand. That is why many online retailers sell knock-off and "look-a-like" versions of the famous Ugg Boots and selling them at incredibly low prices. It has become a big problem for Ugg. These cheap "look-a-like" boots are made with synthetic materials (which will make you feet sweat), or are poorly constructed and fall apart after one season of wear.

I like the design of this composition was also counter-poetic in their day. Poets were expected to create about wonderful, remarkably uncomfortable, motivating the community and lifestyle.
