This Consciousness that is aware
Of Neighbors and the Sun
Will be the one aware of Death
And that itself alone
Is traversing the interval
Experience between
And most profound experience
Appointed unto Men–
How adequate unto itself
Its properties shall be
Itself unto itself and none
Shall make discovery.
Adventures most unto itself
The Soul condemned to be–
Attended by a single Hound
Its own Idenity.

Back in the ’70s, I played at Emily Dickenson’s house a few times, spent a few dozen hours in Frost Library reading old newspaper comic strips, and spent a few hundred hours at the UMass library reading old magazines and Sunday newspaper comic strips on microfilm. The Yiddish Library(?} wasn’t yet at Hampshire College. Hope you enjoyed yourself.
