Dolphins will perish So true. And isn't that Keats's point -- thou still unravished bride of quietness -- art's capacity to carpe the diem and preserve plastered on some wall or writ small in a book somewhere or graven in the gem the thought, the action of some moment -- even moments that never were. All that dolphin reason and romance -- writ on water -- washing remorselessly away. As if dolphins had never lived. While man, a far less elegant species preserves disk farms full of chatter, dreams, and hate for a future that doesn't care what we think now. It bothers me that I don't know what Alexander's lover thought of him, while I can read a book that details every move that Clinton put on his chubby intern. Even worse, there are buildings full of tape recordings, transcripts, drafts. If I were mad enough I could spend my life trying to reconstruct "the truth" of the stain on the blue dress that changed the world. Fact is bad enough, but now we will up on fiction --- made up things -- that even highly intelligent people claim to encapsulate human thought. Pfah! Let me wash this hand. It smells of mortality.
