Also, I will probably spend a year in America starting from next September *fingers crossed* :).
And here's another link to a website that stores bookmarks I frequently use: http://www.delicious.com/fabienpoete.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

John Ashbery, "Sleepers Awake", 2007

"Beware of anonymous letters - you may have written them, in a wordless
implosion of sleep."

Also, this blog now serves as a kind of memo, where i can paste interesting stuff i find on the web, or write random thoughts... I guess I could change the title to "feuille de brouillon". I like the idea of a creative mess, or of a treasure box full of quotations and ideas and drawings, etc..

Du vrai et du faux Bien, Lorenzo Valla + brouillon

"a virtue like diligence is placed between two contraries, curiosity and negligence; and it is so placed that when you withdraw your foot from one, you are in danger of falling into the other, as the proverb says, "When I flee from Scylla I am dragged into Charybdis"."

Brainstorming:

Maori in America, 1800-1850.
American New Zealand, European New Zealand. Another Forgotten Actor in the Making of New Zealand (1830s-1850s).
Individuals between Countries: the Baron de Thierry and James Clendon.
The Forgotten Printer: James Telford.
Maori Imagery in Young America.
Maori Meeting Native Americans in the Early Nineteenth Century.
Mythical New Zealand: Importing Settlers from Great-Britain and France (1830-1860s).
Mythical New Zealand: Exporting an Image to Great-Britain and France (1900-1945).
(réunir les deux derniers en thèse???)
etc

So Long.

New Zealand, I shall miss you. The next step is to the West.
