More from Allen Ginsberg
"No more to say, and nothing to weep for but the Beings in the Dream, trapped in its disappearance, sighing, screaming with it, buying and selling pieces of phantom, worshipping each other, worshipping…"
"The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction the weight, the weight we carry is love."
"There is nothing to be learned from history anymore. We're in science fiction now."
"I'm an essence, but I'm not an apparition."
"The censorship of language is the censorship of consciousness."
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.
