Conventionally grown food is typically sprayed with nitrogen-based fertilizers, which are not only produced in factories that are powered by fossil fuels, but also produce nitrous oxide, which—in addition to being fun to huff out of whipped cream canisters if you're a ne'er-do-well suburban teenager—is a greenhouse gas about 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.
Here's a taste of a savage one sent from a moralistic scribe: On each Sunday morning to church you repair, And turn up your nose with a sanctified air, But see you at home what a different sight, As you read nasty books and drink gin half the night, While you ne'er give poor people enough for a dinner, You hypocritical wicked old Sinner.
When Laurence Olivier climbs on a cart in "Henry V," addressing his soldiers with hopeful passion, it wasn't just Shakespeare, it was Shakespeare fitted up as propaganda, and sold to a nation fighting a good war in 1944: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;For he today that sheds his blood with meShall be my brother, be he ne'er so base.
Like Isherwood's book, famous for Sally Bowles and the other ne'er-do-wells of Weimar night life, the German portions of the novel are written in short, journal-like sections that jump between the demimonde of the ChiChi, a dive bar for black expats, where Jed stays off white wine but takes up hash, and the semi-ridiculous world of high-theory architecture, neither of which leads him to the gorgeous boys of his dreams.
His talent for poetry was evident early on; at age 14 he began a joking birthday poem for Ann this way: Dear, and very dear relation, Time, who flies without cessation,— Who ne'er allows procrastination,— Who never yields to recubation, Nor ever stops for respiration, Has brought again in round rotation The once a yearly celebration Of the day of thy creation … And so it goes for another 102 iterations of -ation, according to Uglow.
Jane Prescott, a smart and sensible lady's maid in service to the nouveau riche Benchley family, has a front-row seat for the mischief that ensues when pretty, vapid Charlotte Benchley rises above her station and becomes romantically entwined with a rich nitwit ne'er-do-well, Robert Norris Newsome Jr. When Norrie is murdered on the night their engagement is to be announced, Charlotte becomes a suspect and only Jane seems inclined to clear the silly girl's good name.
Reading it, if you're an assiduous gallery goer, you might get the feeling of being told things you already knew — but, aside from their having been ne'er so well expressed, Carrier's observations really amount to first notes toward the treatment of a vast subject that's never been systematically studied, though there are precedents in Brian O'Doherty's famous little book on the white cube, which Carrier duly notes, and Lawrence Alloway's essays on art as a system, which Carrier strangely overlooks.
From kingless bards of yore to Sinatra in his fallow years to "Don't Go Home With Your Heart On"-era Leonard Cohen to poor Deacon Blue dying behind the wheel all the way to The Flaming Stars and Crime And The City Solution and Gallon Drunk and a million other ne'er-do-well lounge rockers with unwieldy band names and even clunkier prospects, the landscape is littered with men and women dressed like noir extras crying their eyes out of at the end of the bar.
