Quotes about telegraph, page 2

No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Just as characteristic, perhaps, is the intellectual interdependence created through the development of the modern media of communication: post, telegraph, telephone, and popular press.

It Just Happens

There are times when we think
of someone or something,
a few hours later
they appear before our eyes.
You can call it what you may,
a mental telegraphy kind of thing.
I don’t really know
all I do know is that it happens
and with me,
it is quite regularly.
I’ll think f someone
and then hey presto
they are at my front door.
I think of a film
I haven’t seen for quite a long time,
I’ll look at the TV guide,
and low and behold,
you’ve guessed it
the film I was thinking about
is on the TV.

One of the things I thought a lot about was how can we get the views, for instance, the main plaza, you look up to Telegraph Hill from there and therefore it would be a disaster to close that view off.

Paper Mache, Cabbages Kings

Na na na na na na na na na
Paper mache and telegraph poles
Things go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
To make you want to jump with fright
Elephants tusks and autograph books ,people you dont meet
Havent got a bed to lay my head , shoes to fit my feet
Dont be scared
Youre better off then nothing
Youre answering to no one
Paper mache
Paper mache and telegraph poles
Thing go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
To make you want to jump with fright
Elephants tusks and autograph books, people you dont meet
Havent got a bed to lay my head, shoes to fit my feet
Dont be scared
Youre better off then nothing
Youre answering to no one

Telegraphic Poems...

used to be that
during those old time... mama dead, come home immediately.

or...happy birthday, may you have more birthdays to come...or...
we share your victory...happy graduation... or

papa cannot come home, bad weather... or
send money, tuition....or

those times... communication is...very slow....sometimes, the dead
was already buried...or resurrected...when the telegram for condolences
arrived....

got you poem today...in the same manner...telegraphic in form...
deciphered... like... each word has a value....bill follows.....

Full Service

Full service,
Full love,
And like '20th Century Fox'!
But the village's voice is now heard all over.

'Daily Telegraph',
'Sunday Times',
Herald Sun';
And like 'L. A. Lakers' in the land of your muse,
But i need full service on this love.

Blinking Lights

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees
Blinking down a Morse code signal
'Specially for me
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
In the middle of the night
But the signal's comin' through
One day I will be alright again
Blinking lights on the higway cars
Stoppin' one by one
Get a look at the accident
Didn't see that one coming
And the doctor in the sky
Gonna bring his chopper down
Gonna bring me out alive
And set me on the ground
Once more again
Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees

LSDearly Beloved

Shoulders sagging and spines dragging so weary
No escapes dream states groovin to Tim Leary
Dreary lives mime scary times tastes so melodic
Episodic seasons chronic greetings psychotic
Meetings touch L.S.Dearly
Beloved don’t covet the days and months yearly
Ears hearing the colors sway and fearing the eerie
Feelings in fields of view corroded by smelling the teary
Developments enveloping everything in the being
To coax out a hoax and mislead the misleading
Displeasing stigmas stuck on melting backs like a dorsal
Forceful impressions from head to toe through the torso
Hallucination invitations in the dropp of a morsel
Promise clues to breakthrough this dimension in Morse code
And forgo...

Arthur C. Clarke

A hundred years ago, the electric telegraph made possible - indeed, inevitable - the United States of America. The communications satellite will make equally inevitable a United Nations of Earth; let us hope that the transition period will not be equally bloody.

A hazy night and I remember the sensuous Playhouse

A faded rainbow splits in the shameful dusk
And prying stars scatter in multitude.
The dull sky almost a sparkle
And drizzle stops for a while.
The best actors in the world get ready in their ghettos for the rehearsal.
The beginners have no alternative in this low waged tragedy
And they grab the oldest profession.
Finally the pussyfoot greedy customers
Donate their hidden sicknesses
And it seems the each performer gets entr'acte of this chain reaction.

I dedicate this poem to the poetess Suzie.Gharib in gratitude.

* These stereotyped individuals are the victims of morality and their heartbeat is the Morse code of social imbalance. Life is not easy on this planet earth, though it rotates yet not a Merry-go-round.

Ghost Dance

Long ago a prophet appeared,
A Piute Medicine Chief known as Wovoka.
He spoke to the Lakota people and others,
Of how to banish the white man.

They knew not they faced such great numbers.

This Messiah taught the Ghost Dance,
And promised come next spring,
New soil would smother all white men,
Sweet grass would cover the land,
Wild horses & buffalo would return,
All who danced the Ghost Dance,
Would be taken up into the air,
Suspended while new earth was laid down.

Kicking Bear assured Sitting Bull that,
If their people wore Ghost Dance shirts,
White mans bullets could not strike them so,
They painted their shirts with sacred symbols.

Albert Einstein

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this And radio operates exactly the same way you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

My Fridge

My fridge has a life of it's own

It's own

Why don't I have a life of my own?

I, plug it in, [that is the fridge]

And still it has a life of it's own

As it whines and sings

It's broken sonatas

So 'postmodern' for a fridge!

I, on the other hand only moan

Sometimes I think it is haunted

Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged

Long Wig up on his High Chair
stares at Long hair standing there
below him in the dock.
'I cannot deviate from the Law, '
he says, glancing at the clock.
'This is my decision.
Six months without remission.
Oh, and yes, with hard labour.'

'Decision' 'Remission' 'Hard Labour'
rang the echoes round the court
as each man turned to scrutinise his neighbour.

The Judge retired.
To dinners with people of the better sort.
To bottles of wine and vintage port.
To a Knighthood and, well, to cut it short,
to the Daily Telegraph.
On a day when, to his great surprise,
he saw his own obituary spread before his eyes.

No One Else Sees

telegraph...
silence speaks,
gravel voice...

trees fall,
no one hears...
you cannot lie...

in the moment
of you and me.
i know your smell,

your feel and your taste.
time writes with blood,
feet within feet!

love, the scar,
that no one else sees...
the color of water

S.o.s.

(They found her body right under the stairs
Where it had lain for twenty years,
The neck was broken, I heard folks say -
'Too late! ' was the verdict of Gallows Bay) .

* * * *

I'd heard dark things of Samuel Pell,
He drank too much and was far from well,
But he walked the beach in the early morn,
Especially after a gale, or storm.

He checked the flotsam as in it swirled
Into the bay from the seas of the world,
All the jetsam he'd pile up high,
And check each mark, with many a sigh.

But never a word did I hear him speak
From the crack of dawn to the end of the week,
And then he'd hurry on home once more

A Visit From Diotima ll

D Do you like it?
MM Hell, yes.
D What do you like about it?
MM I dunno. It's...different.
D The second verse reprises the first.
MM Oh?
D Check it out.
(sings)
'Our love is so odd, odd, odd-
Baby, oh, baby, oh, baby,
Odd, odd, odd, odd, odd! -

How do you like it, so far?

MM Well, English is a funny language.
But I like it-oddly enough.
If you could only not sing so loud...
It's after three, remember.

D What does it matter?
