More From P. J. O'Rourke

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.
Good Love Writing Political
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. no matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." you drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." everything is poetry, so i think we come down to emotional information. and that's what poetry conveys.
Art Wine Emotional
There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

First of all, we have to understand what communism is. i mean, to me, real communism, the soviet communism, is basically a mask for bolshevism, which is a mask for judaism.

He has chosen you, in a mysterious but real way, to make you saviors with him and like him. yes, christ calls you, but he calls you in truth. his call is demanding, because he invites you to let yourselves be 'captured' by him completely, so that your whole lives will be seen in a different light.
