She holds the universe in her eyes.
She holds the universe in her eyes; her pupils the planets, her tears the oceans, her expressions godly sentiment, her blinking eclipses of epic proportions unfathomable as of yet. What colligates her eyes, her universe, is not hers essentially. For he who gazes into them merely motivated by their mesmeric quality unfolds their very universe. Not only that. He adds, if she would have it so, a solar system that screams in defiance of solipsism. Do not tell me your universe is yours alone, he appeals to her, do not tell me my stellar system cannot be suspended safely in your circuity. But she sought no stars, she longed for a universe. And so, he and she together but separately wished to immerse themselves in the universe of another. Do they not know all commences with a grain of sand?Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
