Pat Maginess: Private-Eye

Hard Shelled Detective Fiction by Edward Piercy

My Internet Junk Drawer #3


Once again, photos that I have pulled from
the internet but haven't put on any posts -- until now.




Davie Bowie looking remarkably relaxed
for a guy who has just been arrested, 1976.



June Carter and Johnny Cash.

Photo by Annie Leibovitz.

Wow.



A really nice (and rare) photo of
poet Walt Whitman.

"And looked up in silent wonder
at the stars."



Richard Roundtree as "Shaft."

"Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
(Shaft!)
Right on."



A wonderful photo taken by Gordon Parks
in Selma, Alabama in 1956.



Twiggy, Barry Lategan, 1966.
A drop dead gorgeous photo.
If anyone thinks that fashion
photographers can't be artists,
this should dispell that a little.



Nico, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed and
the Velvet Underground, 1967.

Don't you just wish you could go back
in a time machine and hang out with these
guys for even 24 hours?



Slap me, I must be dreaming.

Photo by Annie Leibovitz.
(Not a sharp photo, but right off the
Vanity Fair site and as good as it gets.)



As is the tradition with these Junk Drawer
posts, we conclude with a totally sleezy
photo of some hot babe or another. In this
case it is of actress Erica Leehrsen, a total
fox of a redhead.

Walt Whitman,
one of the best 19th century American Poets

since I hear acordeon music right now and the mood is poetic,
pls allow me to include one of his poems about existence, about identity ,about life:

Walt Whitman : O Me! O Life!

O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities fill'd with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light--of the objects mean--of the struggle ever renew'd;
Of the poor results of all--of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest--with the rest me intertwined;
The question, O me! so sad, recurring--What good amid these, O me, O life?

Wow, I've got his volume but can't say I've ever read that one. Thank you so much for putting it here in the comments to my post!

I've been thinking about doing another poem lately. Don't know yet -- maybe.

Have a great night, Angeliki! :heart:
