"L" is laughing

"They never talked about the sex, let it happen, at first only in the tent at night, then in the full daylight with the hot sun striking down, and at evening in the fire glow, quick, rough, laughing and snorting, no lack of noises, but saying not a goddamn word except once Ennis said, 'I'm not no queer,' and Jack jumped in with 'Me neither.  A one-shot thing.  Nobody's business but ours.'"     [story]

"M" is Metheney

When Annie was writing the 'dozy embrace' passage, she tells us that she listened over and over to a piece called 'Spiritual' from the 'Beyond the Missouri Sky' album by Charlie Haden and Pat Metheney.  She wrote that whenever she hears that piece, Jack and Ennis appear before her.

Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi6i8bfwV-w

It's the dozy embrace in slow motion set to the music.

"N" is nervousness
« Reply #6202 on: August 17, 2006, 02:34:33 pm »
Ennis was a study in nervousness as he waited for Jack Twist to appear on that "best shirt" day, after a quadrennium of desire.

=compliment= Paul
You stole the space for my "M"
But gave me a new bit of "Brokeback" music
Thanks.

"O" is oddity
« Reply #6203 on: August 17, 2006, 02:37:04 pm »
Both Jack and Ennis must have felt like some kind of oddity growing up in Wyoming in the 1950s-'60s.

Ennis got into many fights, showing his pugilistic side.

Didn't mean to steal your M; there's always next round, cowboy.

"R" is raring

Hangover be damned: when Jack made a suggestive move in Tent Scene One, Ennis was raring to go.

"S" is squalling

"….the sounds were of squalling and sucking and Alma’s sleepy groans, all reassuring of fecundity and life’s continuance to one who worked with livestock.

"T" is throw
« Reply #6208 on: August 17, 2006, 03:18:35 pm »
With one of the hired hands sleeping on high with the animals, while the other cooks and cleans far below, there’s not much chance for exploring their growing urges until too much whisky and a cold night throw both men into the tent.    Quiet Mastery .. JWR.

By the time they came down from the mountain, the boys had both undergone significant changes.
