...himself alone, many of his closest friends dead, most of his contemporaries retreating into a more reserved, intellectualized version of a poetry he helped to create. The Fall Of America continues Ginsberg's undaunted quest for his own separate but absolute reality. ("Iron Horse," along with the earlier "Wichita Vortex Sutra," is to be read as part of The Fall...) While he is less personal now, he never forgets, as William Burroughs puts it, "what is in front of his senses at the moment of writing." So, even in their many weaker moments, the poems hold together well, guided...
...entire generation of actors subsequently learned not to imitate lest they sound like feebly envious parodists. By 20 his first frothy comedy, I'll Leave It to You, was on the boards, and at 25 he had his first smash hit on both sides of the Atlantic, The Vortex.

...mixtures-with a relatively high ratio of gasoline to oxygen -that produce unsatisfactory levels of pollutant gases. In addition, the rapid cooling of the gas temperature in the cylinder leaves unburned fuel, which is also spewed out as a pollutant. Honda's power plant, ponderously called the "compound vortex controlled combustion engine," or CVCC, scrubs these problems by being built to operate on a much thinner fuel mixture, using a lower ratio of gas to oxygen. Moreover, the cooling process in the cylinder is slowed to assist combustion of the fuel. All this reduces pollutant gases. The EPA tests...
Historically Gaudier Brzeska (1891-1915), was the Vorticist and precocious member of the London circle of U.S. Eloit and T.E. Hulme. Wyndam Lewis and Ezra Pound. The Vorticists took their name with the idea that all art must originate in a state of emotional vortex and their aim, according to Pound was to establish what we consider to be characteristic in the in the consciousness and form content of our time. Henri Gaudier left his established family when they banned his Platonic love. Sophie Brzeska--a Polish writer twice his age--from their estate. He then adopted her name...
