FLICKERINGS AND WAVERINGS
![]() Reading is a difficult and authentic pleasure; it is a pleasure that is final; it expresses a disinterestedness, an organized playfulness. Poets gains a space of pure calm, of intense and windless serenity, where their minds attempt to come to terms with their world and define their sensibility in as finely organized a way as possible, with reality flickering and wavering with every fresh perception, sensation and thought in shades of priviledged moments that create their many selves. -Virginia Woolf in The Western Canon, Harold Bloom, 1994, pp. 433-446. I drift through the past here to move forward through a present that stands still for a priviledged moment that I finely organize through flickers and waverings of a many-sided, selved, self. This global crossroad, like a fourth century Theodosian Rome, is experiencing the slow growth of a prophetic message in the midst of a spiritual hunger which will magnetize masses to accept. And this, surrounded by my likes and dislikes, comings and goings, weaknesses and faults, amusements and ethics in one entity, whole, difficult to define in all its contradictions, paradoxes and essential egotisms. Ron Price 27 September 1997 |
