So in essence, they had to be even more overblown to "tell the truth." <br /><br />I was also interested to read a section of Twyla Tharp's book The Creative Habit in which she says she reads archaeologically. That is, from the latest work back to the earlier. I'd never seen The Comedy of Errors before, so Shakespeare's first play was for me, one of the latest I've seen (or read.)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225998457253574928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824466663015731028.post-24953352307694723452011-03-04T12:17:29.535-05:002011-03-04T12:17:29.535-05:00now i am curious about this description of Pinch a...now i am curious about this description of Pinch and shakespeare's knowledge and appropriation of italian comedia. these sound like the actions of Pulcinella, a character who would morph into Punch (or mr. punch) of the english puppet theatre.<br /><br />and also, the phrase "the lie that tells the truth" is now swimming around my head, which i believe is picasso's quote, and one that speaks to this idea of the overblown in poetry (and fiction).<br /><br />and now my head is swimming and i have to lie down and it's all your fault, sara.<br /><br />but it's all good.david elzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653215150526146224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824466663015731028.post-58089742200104920722011-03-04T12:08:43.556-05:002011-03-04T12:08:43.556-05:00"deliberate errors in their wild depictions o..."deliberate errors in their wild depictions of things"... whoa, girl.
