Subject: PLC: Wallace Steven's On Going Back...


What should we be without the sexual myth,
the human revery or poem of death?

Castratos of moon-mash-Life consists
of propositions about life. The human

Revery is a solitude in which
we compose these propositions, torn by dreams,

By the terrible incantations of defeats
And by the fear that defeats and dreams are one.

The whole race is a poet that writes down
the eccentric propositions of its fate.
