Cat Has Had the Time of His Life

thin line

Our Daily Bleed...

In their serious corner, the players move the gradual pieces.  The board detains them until dawn in its hard compass: the hatred of two colors.

In the game, the forms give off a severe magic: Homeric castle, gay knight, warlike queen, king solitary, oblique bishop, & pawns at war.

Finally, when the players have gone in, & when time has eventually consumed them, surely the rites then will not be done.

In the east, this war has taken fire. Today, the whole earth is its provenance. Like that other, this game is for ever.



— Jorge Luis Borges, Chess (I)

Of Man's first disobedience, & the fruit
Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, & all our woe.

1850 -- France: During this month the first issue of Anselme Bellegarrigue's newspaper, "L'Anarchie, journal de l'ordre" appears. (Exact date unknown. — ed.) Anselme Bellegarrigue (1820-?) est inséparable de l'histoire du mouvement anarchiste, ne serait-ce que pour avoir créé en 1850 "L'Anarchie, journal de l'ordre." Cette page qui rappelle son histoire, publie aussi ses textes.

Although one of the earliest popularizers of the term “anarchism” was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865), another Frenchman, Anselme Bellegarrigue, his contemporary, was the first to publish a periodical with an explicitly anarchist title. His "L’Anarchie: Journal De L’Ordre", first appeared in April, 1850. Bellegarrigue was even more anti-electoral than Proudhon & was explicitly nonviolent. According to him, the task of abolishing governments "must be carried out neither by political parties, which will always seek to dominate, nor by violent revolution, which needs leaders like any other military operation. The people once enlightened will act for itself."

The people will make its own revolution, by the sole strength of right, the force of inertia, “the refusal to co-operate.” From the refusal to co-operate stems the abrogation of the laws that legalize murder & the proclamation of equity.




Chessboard
1859 -- US: Just a Pawn in the Game?: The brilliant Paul Morphy returns from 10-month chess tour of Europe, retires. He has inspired numerous stories, movies, novels, etc, as the mad genius chess master — it is said he challenged God to a game & even offered a pawn advantage. Morphy won.


 

Tenuous king, slant bishop, bitter queen, straightforward castle & the crafty pawn— over the checkered black & white terrain they seek out & enjoin their armed campaign.

They do not realize the dominant hand of the player rules their destiny. They do not know an adamantine fate
governs their choices & controls their journey.

The player, too, is captive of caprice (the sentence is Omar's) on another ground crisscrossed with black nights & white days.

God moves the player, he, in turn, the piece. But what god beyond God begins the round of dust & time & dream & agonies?

— Jorge Luis Borges, Chess (II)

 
 

What?! No Chess Club??!

1871 -- US: Gettin' Civilized (Ayn Rand Style)? Mob massacres more than 100 Apaches who had placed themselves under US protection at Camp Grant, Arizona.

As to the Indians, "[t]hey didn't have any rights to the land & there was no reason for anyone to grant them rights which they had not conceived & were not using...

What was it they were fighting for, if they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their "right" to keep part of the earth untouched, unused & not even as property, just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal, or maybe a few caves above it. Any white person [emphasis mine, — ed] who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent."

— Ayn Rand, West Point, 1974

1877 -- Charles Cros, French poet, patents the phonograph.

Charles Cros, the inventor of the phonograph, was the most popular poet-singer of this kind in mid-nineteenth-century Paris, & his poems spoke for a way of life completely unassimilable by the money-crazy, hypocritical, debauched, & puritanical society of Louis Napoleon’s gimcrack Second Empire.

It is out of people like Charles Cros, simple, sensuous, lyrical, & sarcastic, that poets like Verlaine come, & all of those that he, Verlaine, first called “poètes maudits,” the cursed, the outcast poets, Germain Nouveau, Arthur Rimbaud, Alfred Jarry, Tristan Corbière, Jean Richepin. All of these poets are still sung.

During WWI Hasek served at various times in Czech, Russian & Austrian armies. Captured on the Russian front, a prisoner of war.

Wrote a four-volume novel, The Good Soldier Schweik, acclaimed as one of the greatest satires in world literature. Hašek died before the whole book was finished & Karel Vanek's completion of the century's bawdiest, disrespectful & immoral novel is weak. Hasek also wrote Shouts in May (1903).



1886 -- US: On the eve of May 1, 50,000 workers in Chicago are on strike. 30,000 more swell their ranks tomorrow, bringing most of Chicago manufacturing to a standstill. Chicago cops kill four unionists on the 3rd. A demonstration will be held on the 4th in Haymarket Square; a cop is killed by a never identified assailant & eight anarchists (some not in attendance) are tried for murder & sentenced to death.

This evening fears of violent class conflict grip the city. No violence occurred on May 1 or May 2. But on May 3, Chicago's finest, swollen in number & heavily armed, attacked a demonstration & lilled four unionists. Angered, a group of anarchists, led by August Spies & Albert Parsons, called for a massive protest demonstration in Haymarket Square for May 4. The demonstration appeared to be a complete bust, but someone threw a bomb that killed seven cops...

1944 -- Last day of April:

"Rainy days, I generally sat in a dry place & read a book, often just an axe length away from a ping-pong table. The training course lasted three weeks, ending on a Saturday, a very rainy one...I remember standing at an end window of our Quonset hut for a very long time, looking out at the slanting, dreary rain, my trigger finger itching imperceptibly, if at all...Then, after synchronizing my wristwatch with the clock in the latrine, I walked down the long, wet cobblestone hill into town. I ignored the flashes of lightning all around me. They either had your number on them or they didn't."
