“allow, Therefore, that in the planetary scene
Your disaffected flagellants, well-stuffed,
Smacking their muzzy bellies in parade,
Proud of such novelties of the sublime,
Such tink and tank and tunk-a-tunk-tunk,
May, merely may, madame, whip from themselves
A jovial hullabaloo among the spheres.
This will make widows wince.
But fictive things Wink as they will.
Wink most when widows wince.
(to a High-Toned Old Christian Woman
Wallace Stevens)
Just on my hall: a Phenomenologist,
Modern Colonialist, Creative Non-
Fictionalist, Playwright & Gothic-ist,
Poet, Grammarian & Rhetorician,
Administrator, Hagiographist, Coyote
Documentarian and Ornithologist.,
Mao Apologist… All that surface
difference & yet each one: a critical
thinker, and that’s just one floor in Jensen:
critical thinkers
critical-thinking
critically.like
anything.
An Environmental Issue: creating a moral matrix
of the kind where what might be inconceivable in
one environment is felt among the scholars as a
piece of cake & de rigorous in another.
