If you are talented in acting and directing and can’t afford university tuition fees then NOW is your chance to apply. Harvard University’s ART Institute, a graduate program in theater, suspended admissions last year after the US Department of Education gave the program a “failing” grade for burdening its graduates with unmanageable levels of student debt.
Thanks to jazz singer Jessica Molaskey for that info.

 

 

 

 

 

Voyages, V

Meticulous, past midnight in clear rime
Infrangible and lonely, smooth as though cast
Together in one merciless white blade –
The bay estuaries fleck the hard sky limits.

- As if too brittle or too clear to touch!
The cables of our sleep so swiftly filed,
Already hang, shred ends from remembered stars.
One frozen trackless smile …What words
Can strangle this deaf moonlight? For we

Are overtaken. Now no cry, no sword
Can fasten or deflect this tidal wedge,
Slow tyranny of moonlight, moonlight loved
And changed… 'There's

Nothing like this in the world,' you say,
Knowing I cannot touch your hand and look
Too, into that godless cleft of sky
Where nothing turns but dead sands flashing.

'- And never to quite understand!' No,
In all the argosy of your bright hair I dreamed
Nothing so flagless as this piracy.

             But now
Draw in your head, alone and too tall here,
Your eyes already in the slant of drifting foam;
Your breath sealed by the ghosts I do not know:
Draw in your head and sleep the long way home.

Hart Crane (1926-White Buildings)

 

 

 

You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.
