"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."
Continues from yesterday… ATORRENT of rain held us marooned the next day. Miss Leahy was confined to her room, with a nurse in constant attendance and the house doctor making hourly calls. She was on the verge of a nervous collapse, he told me, crying
I wouldn’t have started this book on my own, and for many reasons. One of them is that in Italy it’s marketed as Young Adult Fiction, and I hate most of that stuff, and the other is its imposing length: 600 pages. I was distracted,

Posted at 12:35h, 26 JuneA me piace abbastanza, anche se la mia preferita resta Tempesta. Mi è tornata alla mente quest’immagine (da L’ultimo canto di Fenice) perché riflettevo su chi ritiene che Greg Land non sia un vero artista, per via della sua abitudine di trarre le sue immagini quasi testualmente da fotografie o da fotogrammi di film. Quest’allegoria di Jean Grey, una pagina interna del fumetto (nemmeno una copertina) decisamente dimostra che c’è molto di più nell’arte del disegno della capacità di inventare una posa. Jean appare in sogno a Scott al centro, contornata da altre immagini che raffigurano i momenti salienti della sua vita. A destra due momenti da Fenice ed uno da Jean, a sinistra due momenti da Jean e uno da Fenice. In basso, il matrimonio e la morte, con la spalla di Scott che continua perfettamente nella schiena di Scott stesso. E quei due raggi ottici, nel sogno e nella realtà, che scalfiscono l’immagine sulla sinistra come delle artigliate. Greg Land non è un artista? Ma per piacere…
