about

When Paul Bowles was an infant, he remembers, his father seized on the opportunity of a frigid New York winter storm (or two?) to set his son’s crib on the window ledge in the hopes of inducing a case of hypothermia and premature demise. No such luck for Bowles senior. His son went on to write searing prose, and, in his turn, to wreak his own milder tortures on his wife, Jane Bowles nee Auer, whose writing career faltered after being eclipsed by that of her husband. While less well known than other of his work, Bowles’s vivid, hypnotic Points in Time cannot be recommended too highly.

lyrics

Don’t let my letter get you down; I only left it out to make you frown
Come and look at the harbor, there’s a boat for you, setting sail and who knows where
it’ll take you to
Lucretius tells us that the earth’s to blame, so we rise above her baked in clay
Deep beneath us something old and true; follow now, ‘cause it bore me and you
And when the snow comes, I will ride
What can she take from you that still remains, no curtains even at your windowpane
Take a look at the harbor, the endless trade, you lost what I gained, not a fair exchange
And when the snow comes, I will ride
through all the points in time
See the darkness beneath; behold the fragile foundation; the unreal made real
Take a look in the mirror, there’s a face for you. I will join you one day; it will be me and you
And when the snow comes, I will ride, see me fly
through all the points in time. I will fly
