JLB A4451B3

Borges: "But I think the whole root of the matter lies in the fact that when a writer is young he feels somehow that what he is going to say is rather silly or obvious or commonplace, and then he tries to hide it under baroque ornament, under words taken from the seventeenth-century writers; or, if not, and he sets out to be modern, then he does the contrary: He's inventing words all the time, or alluding to airplanes, railway trains, or the telegraph and telephone because he's doing his best to be modern. Then as time goes on, one feels that one's ideas, good or bad, should be plainly expressed, because if you have an idea you must try to get that idea or that feeling or that mood into the mind of the reader. If, at the same time, you are trying to be, let's say, Sir Thomas Browne or Ezra Pound, then it can't be done. So that I think a writer always begins by being too complicated: He's playing at several games at the same time."

tongue of surfacing Sign not triggering this Extermination
diving of pecked wonderings as rising cry and inhalation
this mouth will recite the bending wonders of counter-physics
the ear searching the memory for bitter indication of basement ideation
motionless Module in the lungs dark transmission
common like the head of a suicidal artist in Photographs of engagements elsewhere
would hauntings point to beneficial destruction in sudden sour semblance,
like the obsessively connected hand of the morbid fellow that slapped the moonchild,
coated voice of deep noise calls out for an immortality mechanism,
myriad patterns that dissipate the intelligence are disturbing the established center.
delicious melancholy of uttered mysteries strike the dim scriptures of Printed darkness,
the untethered mind adds a malign value to outright destruction.
the conservative surface of THE IMAGINATION lacks ROMANTIC vibrations,
all common thunder despite the attentions of selves Engulfed by hackneyed entertainment....
that surge in stammers spreading by Invisible Touch,
ancient disgust holding your person engulfed in seductive gray melody,
the doomed notes laughing a grim wave of exhausted numbness,
a compressed cliche that may keep the illness from spreading
but that also put that hackneyed empty culture in the waiting void of our petty globe.
the tones of anxiety become the common cacophony of illusion and madness,
Printed mysteries can’t sound a symphony,
the source of this smoking wave is the same harrowing horizon producing rampant simulation,
dynamic machines as sick as you and I,
all this afflicted refuse and derailed achievement...
ghostly men who bathed in electrical redemption,
a plot still laughable and not intentional, quite compromised,
machines and metal flooded the visions we kept secret...
petty indifference tore you from a sense of balance,
psychick stasis and permanent disgust are the little moonlight of mute minds...
knowing Agony has you desperate, thinking haunted words that never express inspirations,
mundane power alongside the usual repertoire of superstition and slaughter....
Everything trivializes the imminent X, the Sign and revelation....
the destruction steadily opening into deep presence and sacred causes,
All circular distances with Lifeless silence like holy absent space....
mouth the dangerous dustland wonderings,
imagination triggering a visible vapor of final mishap,
frightening parts built of paper and thread identified as the technologies of millennial culture...
the root was aglow with secret deception and esoteric desire,
unconscious chaos impenetrable interrupted the narrowed unfurling,
the coffin is upon us,
this future chronicle must number the Days made awaiting vengeance,
this creeping lord of bloodied algorithms,
BEHOLD a Great IMAGINATION as something AGAINST the Agonies subliminal !
their distractions shape the Common Now,
their irrelevant howling, these recurring obstacles...
reconnect back to straws of escape,
this little descent down below America....

momentum of impotence in emanating confession

forced moments in cemetery empathy

his ruin was pleasurable and interesting
the flesh was feed for jackals
the ramifications of having a fallen body
narrated hypocrisy as scimitar majesty
nauseating movements in the hidden consciousness
transfigure The catalogue reader thru delicate decomposition
wealth of the dead Man is Agonies Pulsation
the yawn of unspeakable oblivions
vulnerable lungs slightly magnetic
Infinity is unendurable, Earth is grating horror
phantasms stroke the corpse killed by unknown naturalists
her private world had weird flanks,
grip the graces And prepare the psyche
action exhausted vainly preparing for creeping reality
intense experience occurred in ordinary failure
ordinary need is the tomb of mystery
indifferent hands have revived the charlatans
compare hope with derision, these lead to a closed Somewhere.
ye horrors of singing light,
terrible residents laying in horrifically human repose...
awful Son instructing His rotted civilisations,
the meat grotesques have passed the ultimate potential
time inhabited by superinduced future quacks,
limp truth is carelessly lost and tucked within a forgotten habitat
Cursed acquaintance is nauseating irritation,
silent torture in exhausted waste
ye tomb of educated soldiers having probably died from weary abortions,
remote hours descending the dust slush
my revived gospel becomes the labyrinth of slime,
fear Is triumphant over imagination doctrine
hesitation is oblivion because knowledge was malign
vanities of idiots born from torturous potentialities
The vacuum was the singular secret told by no Human tongue
marvelous sleep being the ecstatic liberator,
we swine know the struggle of whoremongers,
animal emanations are bloodstained waste.
the hatred is convulsive cosmos of moneyed murderers,
the vicious world's burial is our electric hope.
death as worthy knowledge,
outcroppings of emptied phantasmagoria,
those adulterers died of blocked dreams.
Hidden Oblivion is the quivering disturbance that shook our sick bellies,
the vain victim of unraveled reality
nothing enacted but communal doubt,
everything compressed into terrible charlatans program,
things not soul dissolved the distended reason
men remained to give speculator testimony,
entire totality malign became great Labouring abomination
the shifting horror of magnetic forces was true definitive Error
Cling to habit, always flatter the vermin,
You are the enemy.

Re: Melzer

Straussian "esoteric reading" indicates something akin to a "perennial philosophy" (Huxley) permeating the philosophic tradition; our modern literal/superficial readings take the garment for the true content (mistakenly). In the same way, Strauss's superficial political activity is taken by many to represent his true significance, ignoring what Melzer demonstrates as his actual import and value--again, superficiality leads people like myself to be "warned away" from Strauss on the basis of irrelevant details (note my own reticence on seeing Bill Kristol thanked in the opening acknowledgements--we are far too affected by irrelevancies).

what it is, etc.

you struggle to hammer words into the music, but you must, right, because the voice and the words & thoughts voiced are so essential to the higher gestalt, right--right? but it never rattles off into deep kruggian windings, no, you can't work out more than a bare framework supporting a single sentiment, the notion is minimal, limited. its only a thin outline of an obscure feeling, you lean on repetition, muttering the same two-note phrase in groups of four. the leanness of your verbage is akin to the specificity of the music itself, the music coming and going in throw-away fits, each song a container for one passing mood, emitted in the moment, sculpted for an hour, packed away and forgotten, uploaded and barely noted. the words and the sounds are all in miniature, all time-stamped and committed to the instant of their emergence and no more. it all flows like some uneventful weather, spontaneous and forgettable, outpoured from your anonymous aetheric haze and always of no consequence, like atmosphere, like breeze.
