It is easier to die than to remember.
Name and date,
Split in soft slate:
A few months obliterate.
A mason times his mallet to a lark's twitter,
listening while the marble rests.
Lays his rule at a letter's edge, fingertips checking,
Till the stone spells a name naming none:
A man abolished.

Tremulous Thread

Then IS now.
The star you steer by is gone.
Its tremulous thread, spun in the hurricane:
Spider floss on my cheek!

A Rich Enough Notion
02:40

Science marked off this terrain of reason, but outside it, it pays no attention. It gives no guidance. Why are there things outside of instrumental reason at all? The self under siege could never find meaning in this denuded form of thinking and living, where all that you're up to is making rational decisions one after another. That's not a rich enough notion of experience or human life.
The more that the enlightenment project progressed--it simply turned out not to be the case that we became less afraid in the face of the unknown. No, the unknown appeared more terrifying than ever. And it wasn't the case that we became less dogmatic; as a matter of fact, the sciences have now branched out into so many areas that the only way anyone can believe in any of them is dogmatically, since none of them can study them, because we don't have world enough or time.

All Your Waking Hours

The idea of having a job was considered a totally intolerable assault on elementary human dignity and human rights. Why should you be subjected to a master? Why should anybody spend most of their waking hours following orders given by a totalitarian ruler? That's what having a job is.
You're following the orders of a master.
This was regarded as not really different from slavery, in fact it was called wage slavery. It was different from slavery only in that it was temporary, until you could become a free, independent human being again.
The idea that you should be subjected to a master during your--almost all your waking hours? I think that is intolerable. I think American workers were quite right in condemning this in the early stages of the industrial revolution. And I think we can work to overcome it. Very concretely. Worker-managed industries, for example.
