Wolf and fox

Marinetti was not entirely indifferent to the romance of fine dining, and does include a “Nocturnal Love Feast” in his cookbook. The meal, which should be eaten at midnight on the island of Capri, climaxes with a cocktail called the War-in-Bed — a relatively appetizing blend of pineapple juice, egg, cocoa, caviar, red pepper, almond paste, nutmeg, and a whole clove, all mixed in the yellow Strega liqueur. He declares that modern women (preferably sheathed in dresses made of gold graphic patterns) will inevitably be won over by the intellectual rigor of Futurist cooking, describing one beautiful donna’s wide-eyed response: “I’m dazzled! Your genius frightens me!”

“What I’m going to talk about is an insight I’ve had about creation. That insight is that the context largely determines what is written, sung or performed. That doesn’t sound like so big of an insight, but it’s actually backwards from what I perceive to be conventional wisdom- which is that creation emerges out of some interior connection or upswelling of passion or feeling that inevitably needs an outlet.”
