Yesterday

by LovelyMay — Yesterday carries with it a strange authority, a gentle insistence that things were somehow better just a day ago. In golf, this memory shows up often. It hides in the sigh of a missed putt, in the shoulder slump after a slice, and in the words, “I was hitting them straight yesterday.” For a new player like the narrator, it’s difficult to share in that nostalgia because there are no golden days of skill to remember—just lessons still being learned. Yet, while he lacks a glorious golfing past, he is…

Chapter III — Theory of Perception

by LovelyMay — Chapter III begins by investigating how perception evolves from raw experience into structured thought, revealing a spectrum that moves from the immediacy of sensation to constructed concepts. Henri Bergson does not view experience as static or neatly divided; instead, he explains that what we often call facts are not final, but moments within a continuum. Each moment serves both as a foundation for what follows and as a result of what preceded. This flow creates a layered understanding of reality, where…

Chapter III — The witch and other Stories

by LovelyMay — Chapter III opens with an atmosphere of barely contained chaos, where the lack of leadership leads to unbridled disorder. Guests, unsure of how to carry themselves or what should happen next, instinctively turn to food, drink, and noise. In this village, celebration rarely unfolds with grace—it erupts with clashing voices, heavy steps, and overflowing cups. The wedding of Anisim and Lipa reflects more than festivity; it becomes a stage for custom-bound obligation. Anisim’s presence is hollow, his eyes…

Long Distance [1919]

by LovelyMay — Long Distance opens with a striking contrast: Chet Ball, once a rugged lineman from Chicago, now rests in a quiet English hospital room, painting a wooden chicken with hands more familiar with climbing poles than holding a brush. His broad shoulders and sun-worn face seem almost out of place amid the dainty surroundings of Reconstruction Hospital No. 9. Though the toy he paints is small and colorful, it stands as a powerful symbol of how far removed he is from the grit and peril of his past life. The room…
