All true
All true acts

Oscillation of amplitude

Breath on the calm sea

All true acts of Creation are
Born out of sickness ~ turmoil ~ disease
Psychic distortion and the sweet smells
Of sweat and malarial dreams
All true
All too true
In an act
In one act of supreme sublimation
Explains a lot, don't it?
I've read this several times and every single one of them "malarial dreams" has practically made my heart skip a beat, that's how much I love that one line.
ReplyDeletefreudian theory. sublimation is the process of transforming libido into "socially useful" achievements, mainly creative art. in sickness and febrile states the id wells up, exposing massive material primed for the sublimation process. zeus' headache produced athena. if such a fever dream predated god's creative burst in the beginning, it could account for many of our observed troubles in the present, living within this artistic work.
