Idea of a way to explain Mallarme: that his poems speak only of the inter-relating vehicles of various underlying unnamed tenors. (Vehicle and Tenor in linguistics, 2nd def.)

Nous avons tous assez de force pour supporter les maux d’autrui.

We have strength enough to support the misfortunes of others.

(On The Road, Jack Kerouac, pp.169-170). “At lilac evening I walked with every muscle aching among the lights of 27th and Welton in the Denver colored section, wishing I were a Negro, feeling that the best the white world had offered me was not enough ecstasy for me, not enough life, joy, kicks, darkness, music, not enough night. I stopped at a little shack where a man sold hot red chili in paper containers; I bought some and ate it, strolling in the dark mysterious streets. I wished I were a Denver Mexican, or even a poor overworked Jap, anything but what I was so drearily, a ‘white man’ disillusioned. All my life I’d had white ambitions; that was why I’d abandoned a good woman like Terry in the San Joaquin Valley. I passed the dark porches of Mexican and Negro homes; soft voices were there, occasionally the dusky knee of some mysterious sensuous gal; and dark faces of the men behind rose arbors. Little children sat like sages in ancient rocking chairs. A gang of colored woman came by, and one of the young ones detached herself from motherlike elders and came to me fast –“Hello Joe!”– and suddenly saw it wasn’t Joe, and ran back, blushing. I wished I were Joe. I was only myself, Sal Paradise, sad, strolling in the violet dark, this unbearably sweet night, wishing I could exchange worlds with the happy, true-hearted ecstatic Negroes of America.”

Operation Lusty, In Praise of Limestone (o)

I’ve written before of the “nauscopie” of writing but now I want to address another aspect of it the “phase shift”

It will often seem to me, when encountering something I’ve written before and thought good, that it has shifted somewhat to the right or left. The words I used then are precisely the same as those I would use now, but they spatially shifted somehow, are somehow more bunched together than they should be, or have rather drifted to the left, and this somewhat undermines their sense. It is as if I have watched the framework of Meter collapse beneath a poetic line, and without that structure of sense everything will seem irregularly and not fluidly bunched.

Of these situations, I think to myself, that a first time reader in the present day will see exactly what I saw in writing it when I first did; but a person in the present day reading for the second time, or a person in a later time reading for the first time, will see this as not a thing to be read at all: it is a sort of blurry vision, the source of which, however, is not their own eyes, nor a function of a quality of the air, but a problem in the thing they are seeing.

The United States first employed national conscription during the American Civil War. The vast majority of troops were volunteers; however, of the 2,100,000 Union soldiers, about 2% were draftees, and another 6% were substitutes paid by draftees… conscription during civil war

ἄπονον δ᾽ ἔλαβον χάρμα παῦροί τινες,
ἔργων πρὸ πάντων βιότῳ φάος.

< Olympian 10.22-23, English, Svarlien

Agamemnon, 83-90 [Chorus]:

σὺ δέ, Τυνδάρεω
θύγατερ, βασίλεια Κλυταιμήστρα,
85 τί χρέος; τί νέον; τί δ᾽ ἐπαισθομένη,
τίνος ἀγγελίας
πειθοῖ περίπεμπτα θυοσκεῖς;
πάντων δὲ θεῶν τῶν ἀστυνόμων,
ὑπάτων, χθονίων,
90 τῶν τ᾽ οὐρανίων τῶν τ᾽ ἀγοραίων,
βωμοὶ δώροισι φλέγονται

——-
And you, daughter of Tyndareus, queen Klytemnestra, what is the need, what is new, what do you perceive, in persuasion of what reports circulating do you make burnt offerings? The altars of all the gods protecting the city, the most high, the low, those of the heavens and those of the markets, burn with offerings:

Dorian invasion

See the suggestive passage in Pythian xi. (478 B.C.) 53: τῶν γὰρ ἀνὰ πόλιν εὑρίσκων τὰ μέσα μάσσονι σὺν | ὄλβῳ τεθαλότα, μέμφομ’ αἶσαν τυαννίδων· | ξυναῖσιδ’ ἀμφ’ ἀρεταῖς τέταμαι, κ.τ.λ.: “in polities I find the middle state crowned with more enduring good; therefore praise I not the despot’s portion; those virtues move my zeal which serve the folk…. (*)

Such a man was as perfect a teller-forth of the honour of the gods, as truly a heaven-born προφήτης, as the temple of Delphi could have found for its service and the more we study Pindar’s poetry, the more we shall read in it the mind of that Delphic religion which, in his time, was still a mighty, if a declining, power. (*)

The mere fact that it’s been written “he folded his hands in his lap” is the evidence that one need never do more than that.

“Today my deepest wish is to go to sleep for six months, if not for ever; it is an admission that life has become almost unendurable and that I must look to pleasure as a waking substitute for sleep. We cannot sleep twenty-four hours a day but we can at least make sleep and pleasure alternate, if once we will admit that, like deep narcotic treatment for nervous breakdown, they are remedies for the very sick. Reality, union with reality, is the true state of the soul when confident and healthy.” Cyril Connolly, The Unquiet Grave.
