I don't do blogs. Today the informational grotesquery (what I suppose used to be the Zeitgeist) is unfortunately polluted with melancholic and polychromatic shards of the Bibliothèque, the Médiathèque, what Albert Camus referred to as his Carnets - and I adopted [read: mangled] (in the naive and precocious romanticity of youth) as my own style of essais lyriques. We fancied that when Matisse went to the Riviera, there was a softening of his style which some took as regression, a waning, a submission to form, at worst a betrayal of his beloved Fauvism. If confronted, he'd have shrugged and squinted into the light, breathed into the wind, and conceived of Shakespeare as being some kind of lovely radical...Wikipedia doth pontificated and wrote:The word essay derives from the French infinitive essayer, "to try" or "to attempt". In English essay first meant "a trial" or "an attempt", and this is still an alternative meaning. The Frenchman Michel de Montaigne was the first author to describe his work as essays; he used the term to characterize these as "attempts" to put his thoughts into writing, and his essays grew out of his commonplacing.
