Reynolds & Midway XXVII.

Yahafta I tellya yahafta I need I need

& so it began againe of a starry midnight,
but Midway, he had ither things in mind:
for instance: in the mirror, the what he calld
'palimpsest' in a sonete, the finest booty.
In Murphy & Sullivan's Beowulf
the word was monstrous, and it made us
giggle like a gurl, for our legs were bald
as the smooth pates of monks in Tibet, our T
at low ebb, wich is fine with us @ time t
for in sleep we wake &, on our sides, like Ezekiel,
pass our hands over the coconut-milk
quhite cloves, & wonder how and wherefore this
sea-change, now, as unto our Jubilee
we nigh | but yesternight I heard the Great
Ninth of Schubert, at wich commencement
there is no sadder, more magnificent music:
I mean the sweeping strings a moment in,
how many bars, who knows, I don't. & this
thocht us of Ludwig & of Antonin,
& that mysterious cardinal: that 9
that cannot be surpassd, or cld not by
a few elect, which brings us to our Lord,
Yeshua's Father, Abba, that reigneth in Heaven,
Who holdeth us, the greatest marionette
& timeless puppeteer, the Lord G-d;
Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah, Primum Mobile;
that Unmoved Mover, Makar
& Shaker of erde & water, H²0,
ритуал. символ. образ
Ritual. Symbol. Image
stampt in the mind of man, made in His Image,
Who came to me this morning in a dream
where I saw verses in the Guid Buik
& His eternal guidance, guiding me
to make a poweem, adding up the number,
& further things of which I did not ken,
of compound parts. Dos Passos made compounds,
his favorite, 'redfaced' : The 42^nd Parallel ,
U.S.A. : too many redfaced personæ,
but who am I to fault him? No-man, which
sd Odysseus to that oneeyed Cyclops
who like Colossus trampt & ate manflesh,
to which those Orcs were snuffling in the wind
for Saruman, Maiar, that lost the Way
& tore the earth assunder w great engines
of sore destruction, &, like Aulë, wrought
him creatures of his own rude make, cruel
abominations, hideous mercenaries,
guttural slayers, fetid filth of breath
not breathd by God, inspirited to ruin
& ruination, rampant beastiall death,
destroyers of instruction, virtue, vice's
vicious & rotten, meaty fournisseurs
of  venery & violatión—
Which is not thus to speak of that Mahal's
Seven Fathers, who did finer work
& wrought in mts hallowd & wide halls,
whose smithy blades did strike in Middle-Earth.
& now that we've forgotten Midway's back
let us forfend such mention, & again
heed God, whose prophet Yeshayahu speaks:
