Chaos: in the original pamphlet, poems have a page each and are split
only at their centres, looking almost like monochromatic blocks of Rothko.
The reorganised version certainly reads differently.
I imagine several contributors to that book might complain similarly about
the presentaion of their texts; there's a kind of separate interest, I
suppose, in accidents of text history (or editorial interventions -
dropping of capital letters, spelling updates, removal of italics from
older texts etc)... another interesting point is the likely difference of
readership that COC will have: though many of its readers will have seen,
for example, the original Weasels, many will not have: the genuine text
becomes insider knowledge. Same with the Agneau. (Down Where Changed
suffers similarly)
