The Sublime

Copyright © 2010 Ernest Bloom.



All true
All true acts

Displacement:
Oscillation of amplitude
bip bah bip bah bip bah bip

Rising
Falling
Breath on the calm sea
Breathing

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?

  1. 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.

  2. freudian 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.
