"Moloch who frightened me out of my natural ecstasy! Moloch whom I abandon! Wake up in Moloch! Light streaming out of the sky!"
"Who can live with this Consciousness and not wake frightened at sunrise?"
"Thank God I am not God! Thank God I am not God!"
"I'm a human being, and I'm a poet, and I'm a lover, and I'm a friend, and I'm a neighbor, and I'm a citizen, and I'm a creature of the earth."
About Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997)
American Beat poet whose Howl (1956) faced an obscenity trial and became a counterculture manifesto. Closely associated with Jack Kerouac (Beat novelist, On the Road) and William S. Burroughs (fellow Beat, Naked Lunch). For an intellectual contrast, see T.S. Eliot, high-modernist poet of The Waste Land — Ginsberg's open-line confessional Beat verse was a deliberate rejection of Eliot's allusive academic formalism — the two halves of mid-century American poetry.
