Who is?
"...and while you lay there,
making believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you?"
"Stranger" Kris Kristofferson
Duality of themes runs through everything. T.S.Eliot used a complete line from one of Shakespeare's sonnets in "Ash Wednesday" and Donne (No Man Is An Island), Goethe (Faustus), and Proust (Remembrance of Things Past) all used the same line, "do not send for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for you." In an interview, the late Lincoln Kirstein said that Georges Balanchine once said there'd been only one creation; everything since has been innovation. Then again, in an essay on the writing of "The Wasteland," Eliot said that when he was writing at his best, it was as though he'd tapped into some super consciousness. I've never read Gestalt's work, or Mesmer ether, so I don't know what they felt about that. Hey, it's probably just great minds think alike. Boy, I'm going to sign off, I really must have had too much to drink to ramble like this. |
