The question is not how to have The Spirit (a.k.a soul, wit, Geist, esprit) without The Word. The question is how to have The Word with The Image? The Master Image of today’s world is the female body ready to be acted on, an instant before it is spurred to sexual action or rises to that action in an ecstasy all its own - a blank space onto which both men and women believe blindly that they can project themselves to infinity, while in reality they manage only to inoculate themselves against desire by uniformity. Having invented Pornography of sublime technical perfection, we haven’t traduced Poetry, we’ve invented its pure opposite. Poetry, we think, could not mean anything. But that is because Porn to us is All in All.
