the roamer
Will Buckingham | 白忠修I've written an essay about #LiuXie's "The Heart of Literature and the Carving of Dragons", #Chinese #literature, and #spiders. I'm calling it an Eight-Legged Essay.
Wow. A brilliant reflection on #writing like a #spider.
"#Arachne the weaver was accustomed to standing back, contemplating the #pattern of her work from the outside, and proclaiming it good. Arachne the spider was immersed in the patterns she made and remade. She inhabited them."
"The spider puts the finishing touches to her web, letting things unfold in accordance with the tides and currents of the world. Then she just hangs there, mid-air, #waiting."
