The Poetry of.../ 55

`The Poetry of the Tradition`

Pier Paolo Pasolini Oh unfortunate generation! What will happen tomorrow, if whatever ruling class—when they were fledglings they didn’t know the poetry of the tradition their experience of it was unhappy because since they lacked a realistic smile it was beyond them and even for what little of it they came to know, they had to show they wanted to know it yes but as detached spectators. Oh unfortunate generation! who in the winter of ‘70 wore fanciful overcoats and shawls and were spoiled who taught you not to feel inferior — you repressed your divinely infantile uncertainties — he who’s not aggressive is an enemy of the people! Ah! The books, the old books passed before your eyes like the belongings of an old enemy you felt obligated not to yield to beauty grown in the soil of forgotten injustices Kim Dingle: Floaters - Sperone Westwater 2020 Subscribe to Lacanian Ink click here.
