I didn't see the connections, but can see them now. The unconscious. Who knew? I'm always looking for links, ties, bridges. They are truer to their nature when they're not, perhaps, prearranged. I'll be returning to Redon in the future here, and may rummage through old writings of my own again. Redon, BTW, was an interesting author in his won right. Thanks for your thoughts . . . .<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('370','Cuchulain'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('370','Cuchulain','Interesting, Robert.

That is to say, the poem has a little bit of that ghost you saw walking on the lawn at the University of Virginia. It also hints at one point at a pit and pendulum sort of continual revolving around a dead center. And finally on to Malte Laurids Brigge in terms of the uncomfortable physicality that I seem to recall is part of that character's experience (and other aspects). In other words, as you rummage in the past what you find suggests to me where you have been going with some of your recent contributions. Is it fair of me to read and comment on your poem this way? Not as a poem by itself, but as something you found here and now and put forward here and now?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('369','Robert Mueller'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('369','Robert Mueller','In your poem I actually see a line leading from Courbet\'s "The Stone Breakers" ("Ties urges and jokes to muscle and concrete") through Poe with the obsessive walking.
