Blind Men and the Elephant John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887) It was six men of Indostan To learning much inclined, Who went to see the Elephant (Though all of them were blind), That each by observation Might satisfy his mind. The First approached the Elephant, And happening to fall Against his broad and sturdy side, At once began to bawl: "God bless me! but the Elephant Is very like a WALL!" The Second, feeling of the tusk, Cried, "Ho, what have we here, So very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear This wonder of an Elephant Is very like a SPEAR!" The Third approached the animal, And happening to take The squirming trunk within his hands, Thus boldly up and spake: "I see," quoth he, "the Elephant Is very like a SNAKE!�

The Fourth reached out an eager hand, And felt about the knee "What most this wondrous beast is like Is mighty plain," quoth he: "'This clear enough the Elephant Is very like a TREE!" The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, Said: "E'en the blindest man Can tell what this resembles most; Deny the fact who can, This marvel of an Elephant Is very like a FAN!" The Sixth no sooner had begun About the beast to grope, Than seizing on the swinging tail That fell within his scope, "I see," quoth he, "the Elephant Is very like a ROPE!" And so these men of Indostan Disputed loud and long, Each in his own opinion Exceeding stiff and strong, Though each was partly in the right, And all were in the wrong!

Why do they all kill themselves? as if life itself were always on the verge of becoming conventional. 3 To become revolutionary is to assign oneself a difficult, but immediate, happiness. 4 to animate it through something other than critique or defiance– perhaps as “free.” 5 Today in the developed countries it is being achieved by imposing a false standard of what is and what is not desirable. 6 Look, here we are, even now– 7 it comes: that is bliss. 8 ablaze with our care, its ongoing song. 9 and the appearance of the comet we now await. 10 will prevent psychological regression and phenomenological progression from ever coming together. 11 and presently he will ring at my door– a bigger, more respectable, more competent Gradus. 12 I just did and I am just about to tell you– 13 It was blurred. 14 – everything is there, but floating. 15 The reading ends when no one asks him to continue. 16 oracular of the heart. 17 All larf n dig deepa in2 the publik kofins. 18 as individuals and communities, in practice. 19 Rodney lives in me. 20 no death 21 beeee 22 But it is a good question. 23 as close to it as I can get. 24 and on the other side, the longing mark that is the proper name. 25 But the difference, in Gertrude Stein’s words, is spreading. 26 And now is your turn to start making history… 27 All of which must have sounded a lot like a Pavel Büchler album. 28 it is rather simply the imperative to imagine them. 29 he has never returned. 1 2

exquisite tenderness. We are all we have. 2 But the idea of the spectacle as something to be acted out and absorbed still hung in the air long after the last spectator had gone home to sleep. 3 And this is a recipe for politics, not quietism– a Left that can look the world in the face. 4 a dangerous class that no longer let its time be stolen. 5 Of course the ashes are no longer here. Wind carried them from the gorse and the waves took them away. 6 It is in this light that a postscript can function as a paratext, born in the age of mechanical reproduction and refashioned by the technologies of the digital era. 7 then takes it away. 8 Firmly clutching his knife, which he perhaps would not know how to wield, Dahlmann went out into the plain. 9 THE NOVEL THAT WRITES ITSELF 10 the history of forms. 11 For every second of time was the strait gate through which the Messiah might enter. 12 the only true object of study in linguistics is the language, considered in itself and for its own sake. 13 that is, simultaneously all the places, those of the seller, the buyer, and the auctioneer. 14 Of remembrance, whispers out of time. 15 Of something remembered of time. 16 to the point where they have liquidated those of magic. 17 It is both gesture of fulfillment and promise. 18 And they are right. 19 we used to renew what was depleted, now we try to resurrect what is gone. 20 Sol LeWitt no longer needed to observe closed orders, but could embrace subjectivity, openness, incompleteness– and the uncategoriseable. 21 aftermath rather than aftermarket, as they try to persevere in the face of our present-day onslaught of catastrophes as usual. 1

22 For,

after all, we must be our own heroines. The film runs out. Black leader, music, credits. 24 he had not been able to access the trans-semiotic of the white Sonata and red Septet… 25 The contemporary hero is not Lucifer; he is not even Prometheus; he is man. 26 This dialectic is the core of the Whitmanian sublime. 27 my words became visible for a moment. 28 by his very effort to turn his life into literature. 29 I’m directly defecting to that planet’s rings. 30 Even “bad” books, if they function in that way, are gifts that need never be returned. 31 x y 23

Some of the doors in this building are made from solid oak. 2 In the shadow cast by the abandoned skyscraper that was The Corrector’s Custom Pre-Fab House, a dirty tent is pitched.

It was time for the lyric fallen back into teeming branches or against the solid trunk gasping. 2 Happiness 3 such strength 4 Close without saving. 5 The triumph of the reproductive revolution will have reshaped the post-Darwinian fitness landscape beyond all recognition– hence my (tentative) prediction that the biology of suffering and senescence is destined to pass into evolution history. 6 Going going gone. 7 The challenge of an illiterate. 8 The moon glimmers in the brown channel. 9 All right then, let me try to rephrase. When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light. 10 My body is washing dishes and it’s in pain. My body is on hold with California Blue Cross Blue Shield and it’s in pain. My body is dancing and it’s in pain. My body is skyping Beth and it’s in pain. My body is taking a shower and it’s in pain. My body is riding BART and it’s in pain. My body is politely saying no and it’s in pain. My body is reading a book ad it’s in pain. My body is at work and it’s n pain. My body is writing this and it’s in pain. My body is walking to meet you and it’s in pain. 11 It wasn’t a match, I say. It was a lesson. 12 ‘“Don’t let that computer freak anywhere near cage,” said the cockney zookeeper. “That tiger ‘ates ‘em, ‘ell tear ‘im apart.”’ 13 I dedicated these fragments to the daughter whose father kicked her ass the airport on Easter Sunday. 14 Come! I’m tired of thought. 15 So I wouldn’t have to face this terribly immediate association I have of beauty with death 16 People die in this war, but the ideas cannot be erased. 1

I said, no 28 of the systems that hung us through. 29 The world before cell phones, all present time, blaring and proud, before the road drops off into pure sky. 30 To once again catch sight of the stars. 31 I can imagine the voice telling her she can stop. 32 We must both be here in this world in this life in this place indicating the presence of. 33 “We both thought it was all over.” 34 Whether it will do that or not, we’ll see. 35 Now I can watch dance for pleasure.
