David Lehman - Ode To Modern Art

David Lehman - Ode To Modern Art

Come on in and stay a while br I'll photograph you emerging from the revolving door br like Frank O'Hara dating the muse of modern art br Talking about the big Pollock show is better br than going to it on a dismal Saturday afternoon br when my luncheon partner is either the author or the subject br of The Education of Henry Adams at a hard-to-get- br a-table-at restaurant on Cornelia Street br just what is chaos theory anyway br I'm not sure but it helps explain "Autumn Rhythm" br the closest thing to chaos without crossing the border br I think you should write that book on Eakins and also the one br on nineteenth century hats the higher the hat the sweller the toff br and together we will come up with Mondrian in the grid of Manhattan br Gerald Murphy's "Still Life with Wasp" and the best Caravaggio in the country br in Kansas City well it's been swell, see you in Cleveland April 23 br The reason time goes faster as you grow older is that each day br is a tinier proportion of the totality of days in your lifebr br David Lehmanbr br
