While Bird

'While Bird' is an anagram of 'Whil Bride' - the internet pseudonym of William McBride.| A While Bird is winged, and seemingly weightless, but, instead of soaring to limitless heights, it will dance and flit about just at the level of the treetops, looking down, checking back, bearing a quiet, melancholy patience. | This is my favourite website, and it changes according to my tastes.| These days you are likely to find here: Proust quotes, AU and US politicking notes, Burt Bacharach Feel Goods and the odd piece of patented Proesy. Other interests include: the ways in which theinternetchangeslives, quotes about hard work, and, of course, Sex and the Dead. Get in touch: will.bride[at]gmail.com

How It Is Done, by Lydia Davis

There is a description in a child’s science book of the act of love that makes it all quite clear and helps when one begins to forget. It starts with affection between a man and a woman. The blood goes to their genitals as they kiss and caress each other, this swelling creates a desire in these parts to be touched further, the man’s penis becomes larger and quite stiff and the woman’s vagina moist and slippery. The penis can now be pushed into the woman’s vagina and the parts move “comfortably and pleasantly” together until the man and woman reach orgasm, “not necessarily at the same time.” The article ends, however, with a cautionary emendation of the opening statement about affection: nowadays many people make love, it says, who do not love each other, or even have any affection for each other, and whether or not this is a good thing we do not yet know.
