            The tree has entered my hands,

            The sap has ascended my arms,

            The tree has grown in my breast—

            Downward,

        Today was the first day that the sun decided actually to do something. People always say the California coast is summer all year round. They are wrong, as wintertime brings chilling winds and biting sun glare in Los Angeles. It takes a chunk of your spirit if you stay out too long.

        Well, those days are over. Instead of a cruel glare freezing my soul, a brutal shine burns a

【Dance Figure】

Ezra Pound (1885—1972)

〖Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948〗

      Dark-eyed,

      O woman of my dreams,

      Ivory sandalled,

      There is none like thee among the dancers,

      None with swift feet.

      I have not found thee in the tents,

      In the broken darkness.

      I have not found thee at the well-head

        The movie industry in L.A. is unique. With Hollywood just around the corner and Universal Studios hanging about, the films and shows made here are broadcast worldwide. But the movie had to be taken somewhere, and that place was Warner Brothers.

        To movie producers, the Warner Bros Studio is paradise. With multiple sets and an infinite supply of props, there's nothing money c

        California has provided the country with many celebrities and very important people. They dominate the big screens, the news, the government, and the halls of fame. California has given or housed some of the most critical figures today and historically.

        Ronald Reagan was the 40^th president of the United States. Being a Californian, he quickly made his way up the popularity chain. Af

〖Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948〗

         The rustling of the silk is discontinued,

         Dust drifts over the court-yard,

         There is no sound of foot-fall, and the leaves

         Scurry into heaps and lie still,

       And she the rejoicer of the heart is beneath them:

【Garden】

Ezra Pound (1885—1972)

〖Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948〗

      Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall

     She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,

     And she is dying piece-meal

      of a sort of emotional anemia.

      And round about there is a rabble

      Of the filthy,

【Rome】

Ezra Pound (1885—1972)

〖Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948〗

         O thou newcomer who seek’st Rome in Rome

       And find’st in Rome no thing thou canst call Roman;

         Arches worn old and palaces made common

         Rome’s name alone within these walls keeps home.

         Behold how pride and ruin

        First things first, Merry Christmas.

        The funny thing is, I'm usually not home when celebrating Christmas. Last year, I went down south to Maryland, and this year, once again, it would be some places in Southern California where this is written. Los Angeles, an exotic tourist destination, seemingly blended Christmas cheer with everyday life, such as in downtown L.A., Be

        What's in Los Angeles? Now that I think about it, all it seems to be is a city with a name and beaches.

        Christmas break this year for school was an all-time short. The students received nine days off and were all required to return on January 2^nd, the following Monday after the New Year of 2107. Not only does it force the students to think about school more often, but
