>> Some people these days say that poetry is dead, some violently deny
>> it. My current image of the art is that of Desdemona while being, and
>> after, suffocated by Othello: murdered but still talking in its last
>> gasps, raising up from its pillow on a final breath. The
>> Wilhelm-Baynes translation of the I Ching has a line somewhere :
>> 'persistently ill, but still does not die' , which takes one beyond
>> poor Desdemona, as of course her last revival is, well, curtains for
>> her if not quite then the play.
