Fom the 2003 diaries ... portraits and photographs of the portraits of Pauline Zagorski by Philip White ... she was a real good sitter til the butylated hydroxyanisole kicked in from the chip fat, when things began to dematerialise. It was like a goodness gracious thing. You never can tell. But I could feel the pull she had for her people. She is one of them, even now.
by John Peake - about 1955, Broken Hill, Australia. House paint on Masonite, 163 x 110cm. from the author's collection
“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’
Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”
DBC Pierre (Vernon God Little, Ludmila’s Broken English, Lights Out In Wonderland ... Winner: Booker prize; Whitbread prize; Bollinger Wodehouse Everyman prize; James Joyce Award from the Literary & Historical Society of University College Dublin)

CONFESSIONS
"After enough years newspapermen begin to pall on other newspapermen; they begin to take their good qualities for granted and wince at their shortcomings, of which the most common are a vanity that sometimes borders on the thespian and a sort of perpetual mental adolescence that I think stems from starting a fresh story every day or every week or month and never having time to get to the bottom of anything. They forget that newspapermen as a class have a yearning for truth as involuntary as a hophead’s addiction to junk. The question of whether the junkie really loves hop is academic; he can’t get along without it. A newspaperman may write a lie to hold his job, but he won’t believe it, and the necessity outrages him so that he craves truth all the more thereafter. A few newspapermen lie to get on in the world, but it outrages them, too, and I have never known a dishonest journalist who wasn’t patently an unhappy bastard."
A.J. Liebling,
war correspondent,
New Yorker,
January 1942.
HEALTH WARNING
"Take the hair", it is well written,
"of the dog by which you're bitten.
Work off one wine by his brother,
chase one poison with another".
Antiphanes, 479BC
HEALTH WARNING
"Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love." Shiva to Solomon, Song of Songs, which is Solomon's, ch2v5
Coda
(for Laurence Smulders
4 April 1932 - 28 June 1997)
Some go without any money,
Some go without any clothes;
Some go like ants stuck in honey,
Some go where nobody goes.
Philip White
GOOD ISLAMIC ADVICE
“Ale, especially that made from barley, clogs the sinews, causes headache and congestion of the head, yet it overstimulates the action of the kidneys, and, when drunk to excess, lowers the temperature. That, however, which is brewed from wheat, and is flavoured with mint and parsley, is judged better for everybody. Still, in the case of persons exposed to the sun’s heat, in feverish conditions and sultry weather, its use is inadvisable.”

That jaw shape is more Alsace Riesling glass than Polksa Woda whitey but don't worry
She looks kind of Asiany as the gripe takes control. Wonder what's behind that?

Question: since when has Tasmania been a mole on that maw?
I hope she would demtaerialise like that but she seems to keep reassembling at taxpayer expense
