The word ‘vermilion’ traces to the Late Latin ‘vermiculus,’meaning "kermes." Kermes are the dried bodies of insects used to produce this ancient red dye.
I can’t really explain this, but onomatopoeically vermillion should be a shade of green

The author is dead! (Crowd cheers) But the author function lives on (crowd boos) Rather than attributing the text to a single origin point, we as critics must map the complex web of institutions and power relations that constitute "authorship" (crowd yawns, disperses)

The bird is beautiful. The celebrity was right to want it. The artist was right to want to keep it . The store person was right to want to keep it. Everyone has been driven insane by a piece of beautiful art which is ideal.

Anne Carson: “That’s the immortality of poetry. It doesn’t mean you live on after death; it means there are moments of time in your life where you forget you are mortal. You forget time. I think language can do that for us.”
Replying to @reluctantlyjoe
oh really? what was the incredible payoff?

One of the Carson lines I think about most often, from her Paris Review interview. "The best one can hope for as a human is to have a relationship with that emptiness where God would be if God were available, but God isn't."
