"People who are Lonely, People left alone"

(this is a journal and so is everything on the topic of Angels In Americia. Just thoguh i should state that.Also that "the Tempest" by William Shakespeare is now a movie and playing seleect theaters in NYC only. MUST SEE. jsut thoguht u should know. anywho, back to journal)

"HARPER: people who are lonely, people left alone, sit talking nonsense to the air imagining...beautiful systems dying, old fixed orders spiraling apart....when you look at the ozone layer, from outside, from a spaceship, it looks like a pale blue halo, a gentle, shimmering aureole encircling the earth. Thirty miles above our heads, a thin layer of three-atom oxygen molecules, product photosynthesis, which explains the fussy vegetable preferance for visible light, its rejection of darker rays and emanationsDanger from without. its kind a gift, from god, the crowning touch to the creation of the world: gardian angels, hand linked, make a spherical net, a blue-green nesting orb, a shell of saftey for life itself. But everywhere, things are collapsing, lies surfacing, systems of defense giving away... this is why, joe, this is why i shouldn't be left alone. [little pause] I'd like to go travling. Leave you behind to worry. I'll sen dpost cards which strange stamps and tantalizing message on back. "later maybe" "nevermore.." (Kushner 1470).

holy
crap

Tony is amazing, i dont know how he does it. This is harper's monlugue at the bveggning of Act 1, scene 3. I love it!!!!! i think she is tripping on her pills a tthe time saying this. I can imagine harper saying this, all gittery and talking to herself...or perhaps alittle drowsy from the pills.Perhaps she;s imagining things, i want to get inside her head to see what the hell she is thinking! i try putting ymself there...but i somehow can't. This is truley a masterpiece. The way he frazes it, he makles her crazyness sound poetic. truely amazing. Posting more journals later,
