The Sunday Poem: Eves

Eves are potential: the pendulum at its farthest swing,
The wave as it curls, the indrawn breath, lowered lashes.
They accrete importance, become more the thing than the thing,
Surrounded by lights, by costumes, icons, belled sashes.

The days themselves are rushes, crashes, madness,
The ebb and flow of family, feasts, and fastness.

But eves — eves are frozen, out of time, still and somehow sad —
An endless moment of anticipation you had, but never have.

From the new design of the Three Rings offices I conclude the following:

  • Most MMOs look sadly impoverished on the imagination front compared to the average artist’s desk there
  • They better have extreme artist loyalty if each artist gets a custom desk…!
  • I need to persuade Daniel to let me come visit. 🙂

So Game|Wire mentions this game concept of Sherlock Holmes vs Cthulhu, and apparently it even exists already in a French version. But all I can think of is Neil’s Gamain’s award-winning short story “A Study in Emerald,” which you can download the PDF of, if you want to read it. I guess there’s no connection, and it’s just a case of peanut butter and chocolate seeming obvious.
