THERE IS NO
HUMAN
NATURE
Outranking the fox and the lemur, perhaps,
Mankind enters the world on a drumstick of
sentient wrath - walking the woods and the
forests, singing of rhymes on the unchanneled
Rhine, marking crazed civilizations with new
stories and times. In how many versions -
over
and again - just by crucifying another
lynch-man story - have we entered our
own realms of religion and doubt?
There's nothing really but shadow.
-
'Tyger, tyger, burning bright' and all that wrath
we see tonight : Everything is somehow only
'us', burrowed in those bearskins around the
fires of the night - stuck like legends; pinned
now, hard and fast, to a ancient wall of myth.
