Excerpt from work in progress:
"Art is man's sole intransitive activity" - Eric Gill
Univocal lyric utterance: put p.
in a.hole (E.G. diary entry recording
transitive activity w/daughter).
E.P. in the cantos: the trombone-slide
from "USURA" to "kikery". Assent
and loathing, loathing and assent.
"The inner greatness of the movement".
This at Heidelberg. R. S., or perhaps
the other Bonhoeffer, wept over
the "depravity" of his interrogators -
now there's a word fallen shamefully
out of use. "What nerve has atrophied" -
S. J., in similar vein...
(R. S. is Rudiger Schleicher; the "other" Bonhoeffer is Karl; S. J. is Storm
Jameson, and the full quotation is "What nerve has atrophied in the
torturer; or, worse, is sensually moved?")
- Dom
