You might say that the force of increasing
individualism has caused the separate (Jungian)
types to become more distinguishable, & to
form their own emanations [preferred surr-
oundings] more distinctly than ever before.
Social unravelling leads to the accumulating
of a yarn-ball for each color...
The Ego is a magic circle maintained by
mostly invisible taboos, avoidances,
distinctions & practices. Making this fact
explicit is a step toward acknowledging &
utilizing non-Ego powers. As soon as you
draw a line, you posit Doors. Why are they
conceived as separate entities then? Because
you won't try to open a door you believe is
merely painted on the wall.
Muse-Silence. Begins for a poet with those
things he cannot change & has ceased to have
new feelings about... Properly considered,
it is a call to arms. But the only way through
--is surrender.
In order to become human, a measure was
lost; humanity itself is a leaping of bounds.
But that gesture completes itself in the
finding of new measure...
'Cosmic images are sometimes so majestic that
philosophers take them for thoughts.' --Bachelard,
The Poetics of Reverie (1960)
