Without knowing a damn thing about
Wire in the Blood
I'd suggest it's referring to the line in Eliot's
Four Quartets. From Burnt Norton.
Garlic and sapphires in the mud
Clot the bedded axle-tree.
The trilling wire in the blood
Sings below inveterate scars
Appeasing long forgotten wars.
The dance along the artery
The circulation of the lymph
Are figured in the drift of stars
Ascend to summer in the tree
We move above the moving tree
In light upon the figured leaf
And hear upon the sodden floor
Below, the boarhound and the boar
Pursue their pattern as before
But reconciled among the stars.
Four Quartets
is FABULOUS. Just fabulous. Love it. And that section is one of my very favourite. (It in turn harks back to the poetry of Owen and Sassoon, imho)
From the novelist's site:
The phrase "the wire in the blood" comes from T.S. Eliots "Four Quartets". - "The trilling wire in the blood/sings below inveterate scars/appeasing long-forgotten wars."
As for the meaning..
In an interview Robson Green said the phrase "wire in the blood" was taken to mean a genetic kink, something impure and unusual in the blood, that leads to the kind of psychosis Hill might deal with.
Val McDermid says: 'Who knows what Eliot really meant by that line? Robson's explanation is as good as any... For myself, I've always taken it to be a metaphor for the thrill of adrenaline surging through the bloodstream. But we'll never know for sure".
I used to have Cinemax, so I've watched a fair amount of softcore. Usually because I couldn't stop watching the amazing gravity-proof implants passing as boobs.
At TESC, we'd get very stoned and watch hardcore porn. Usually gay porn, on account of the higher production values and prettier people.
I prefer written to visual, and the only visual that gets me going at all is girl-on-girl where it looks like they're really actually into it, and not prepping for the guy who's just off camera.
Fay, was it "Henry and June"...the not!crap porn with the twenties? Because I...uh, responded emotionally to that myself.
When I was looking for Season 3 of The Wire on Netflix the search brought up The Wire in the Blood and I considered renting it but wasn't sure. Now I'm intrigued and off to add it to my queue.
Emeline is so adorable!! she's got all these expressions, she's totally going to take over the world.
I love looking at Buffista babies (and kids). I think we need current Owen and Annabel pictures. And Lilly.
But movie fighting is exactly like real fighting, right?
It is the way I do it...
Hopelessly in love with ita.
I liked "Henry and June" a lot, too.
My dorm had a party every year when we'd show porn for hours on a screen in the courtyard. It was not, I think, high quality. One of the women from teh women's schol across the street used to do a running commentary on ho wbelievable the actresses orgasms were, but she graduated before my time, alas.
As for porn -- I've only seen a few movies. One was...well...I watched it with my then boyfriend and the movie put me off sex for a bit.
I love reading good porn -- whether it's fanfic or original or professionally done. and I like visuals pretty pretty pictures.
