Peter Dale Scott. Essential, too, because it attempts to resolve tensions which I suspect the public for poetry will peter dale scott pdf download misread. So too, for many of the same readers, his activist tie to Romantic imagination, especially in Wordsworth and Shelley, against contemporary brands of aestheticism, will not excite much inquiry.
Yet from the first chapter of Seculum, both elements in the title for his new collection—mosaic discontinuity and Orphic retrieval—figure in non-stan- dard ways. Such is not regulation Orphism, particularly as invoked collegially against American amnesiac indifference toward a largely occulted, webby congress of state terrorism, proxy mass slaughters, off-the- books funnelings of the sluice from international drug cartels to black ops, economic decline and the management of fear by debt, false-flag events, assassinations, peter dale scott pdf download, and greasy resource wars.
A perfectly sane critic may object, then, that Scott oddly adapts the Orphic aura to his great allies, just as he torques Buddhist mind-training somewhat by leaguing it in support of unwarranted hopes. But we must ask such a critic to wait. And likewise if it sets its sights on winning through with a long-odds bet on millennial hope, then it is banking on something other than the potent fusion of unfoolable wisdom with fierce compassion.
It also replaces the prepaved terms of resolved tension with a surprise, peter dale scott pdf download. While I cannot identify that factor with confidence, I do want to show that the work itself leaves room for its mani- festation. Mosaic Orpheus collects work from the last decade, subtly extending the long poem in clear yet subtle ways. republic which he has grieved but a quality that lives, now, apart from that agony.
deep politics his term for occluded governance as distinct from the conspiracy label invoked dismissively in the press. The fact that the pictured mosaic face is not that of Orpheus parallels the demographic fact that for many read- ers his work in both verse and forensic prose remains, as an integral matter, invisible.
He must be the only poet now peter dale scott pdf download who can say that Czeslaw Milosz, peace-studies scholar Ola Tunander, various prominent vipassana teachers, and certain unnamed informants in government service deceased in mysterious circumstances, equally have nourished his effort.
This span, together with an iron stomach for the forensics and catharsis of difficult findings, spell his personal equation. His poetics therefore will likely be neither a standard Orphic affair nor a canonical Buddhist one, although the poetry plainly arises in order to square those canons, and that personal equation, with a civics obdurately impersonal and malign. Let me track the poem closely as a way of setting the agenda for both this book and its predecessors.
There too I learned to move towards equanimity by noting an emotional state in my mind, rather than being that state. It involved not Astorga but Dekka Treuhaft, a. Jessisca Mitford, daughter of British pro-fascist aristocrats and herself a Communist and muckraker. All that parallels Scott to his Israeli driver, although quite inadvertently, is this; he wished peter dale scott pdf download relate to Mitford-Treuhaft a moving synchronicity that involved his visit to the Cotswold church whose stained glass memorializes her parents, on the same day when he had revisited the home of Sally Kavanaugh, the daughter of novelist Rosamond Lehmann and her second husband, a Communist.
The unintended gaffe, twenty years later, issues into the autobiography of an ambitious, precariously activist and meliorist poetics. Surely he writes for the other kind of wit- ness, those who painted targets on their own backs while alive to the same uncertainty which he has just framed. But in what sense was his speaking wrong? And who is Euru—dike? But is it Orphic wild impulse that places him there? In antiquity, Orpheus was excluded from that willing peter dale scott pdf download. The signal case against the forceful singer was made by Socrates in the Sympo- sium; precisely because Orpheus did not love Eurydice enough to die, so as to join her as Alkestis did in place of her husband, the judgment goes against him.
No trivial wrong, that, and therefore not what is at issue here after all. Peter dale scott pdf download who in this episode, then, like Orpheus, turns their head away?
Not Scott, but Dekka-Jessica Treuhaft-Mitford, she who fought to liberate others and ridiculed the profiteers of death. What she turns from in disdain is an enduring loyalty to loss. Although by direct allusion Scott styles himself as the inept restorer, peter dale scott pdf download, it is really the passionately insistent restoration attempted by Lehmann that prompts the author of The American Way of Death to pivot away. Thus it is soft force against hard in this stock-taking, recasting the yin- yang, darkness-light structures of Minding the Darkness.
And Eurydice is one of the daughters of light. In teasing out these parallels I intend no neat equation, but rather the same irresolution in which Scott leaves the large questions rekindled here by apparently small shocks and remembered small talk.
And with it counts the fact that courage consists, not as for Plato simply in being willing to die for what one loves, but also in living as if dead to the prospect of historical amelioration while remaining loyal to a gentler influence. The new poem sets a philosophically erotic postscript as seal on the larger work. The functional contraries of Seculum climax in one pair: forensics and meditation. Here, by way of extension, the subtle contraries enacted between himself and Mitford twenty years after being triggered do not condemn her for an Orphic refusal to die for love.
Those moving from this book to Seculum will correspondingly find lights winking on across its large game board, peter dale scott pdf download. influence, home of the beleaguered Forest tradition of Buddhist insight meditation. Such, in fact, is satipatthana practice. I want to suggest, by way of two excerpts from Seculum, peter dale scott pdf download, how thor- oughly Mosaic Orpheus pertains to a fruitful doubleness achieved in the long poem, an peter dale scott pdf download Orphic retrieval of justice that also wisely lets go at the same time.
This peter dale scott pdf download to an Orphism of zero degree. No other writer now alive has attempted this balancing act, to my knowledge, let alone has crawled out to the wide view available from its rim, peter dale scott pdf download.
Both passages require of us only that we remember that Seculum rises from and intensely pursues, to that zero degree of poise, the attempt to steadily bear witness to the intoler- able. The first of these comes in Chapter IV. x of Minding the Darkness; the second occurs in Chapter IV. vi of Listening to peter dale scott pdf download Candle, peter dale scott pdf download, which explores stopping in depth. In Chapter IV. Scott, P. and also as Orpheus Paradiso xii, pp. In fact, Chapters IV.
vi through IV. Chapter IV. vi of Listening to the Candle, devoted to the fruits of a mind- fulness retreat, equips that activist-suspensionist posture with the mental and spiritual laser surgery which it needs in order to become real. The chap- ter is especially notable because only such micro-acts of attention supply Scott with his sole exit through a forensic and agonistic poetics into genuine quietus.
The shocks inventoried by Scott, past those so deeply anatomized by Benjamin and Adorno, have Scott weave an Orphism of zero degree right into mindfulness practice, so that, with Eurydikean sati, stoppage may ventilate and even tie off the motu perpetua of complicity and inquest. That bearing rests upon liberation—not historical but mental.
Thus the n-roots proliferate into near-contra- dictions implying off-stage resolution. For instance, the Chinese for refuge, na mo also a respectful hailing or bowing downdovetails remarkably with Homeric resentment and indignation—nemesin as the distillate behind nemesis in the Iliad and grazing in the Odyssey—and with the Anglo-Saxon niman for capture or seizure, in Beowulf. Such is the Orphism of zero degree, an apophatic disappearance into, not retrieval, of love.
That is, whatever subsists is neither object, ego, nor consciousness. This retreat chapter in Candle distributes a laser surgery kit for spiritual battlefield applications, against injustice but also against that subtle self- capture, both captum and niman, of the warrior who forgets what liberation finally amounts to. Mosaic Orpheus frees the explicitly liberated poetics of the long poem, with its repeated report- age on meditation, into reflections on stoppage-as-liberation. Satic and Orphic at once, this poetics.
The Lincoln android in Philip K. That surprising quality manages to live where otherwise death would prevail.
Nor is it conventional apocalyptic hope, for it wears an ornament, the bauble of eros and grace, to prove that the great thing it is conquers gently. Lest I leave the impression that this achievement comes sweetly to our writing guild, I must chime the impolite note struck in both Mosaic Orpheus and the long poem against aestheticism.
George Seferis, recording peter dale scott pdf download spontaneous drop to his hands and knees on a mountain path, cried out that the beauty was unbearable. Greek fuses beauty and good in one word, kalokagathia, which none the less leaves open the matter of just how one bears sublimity.
Likewise, with the adjective intolerable, Scott would have us take neither collective amnesia nor his own anamnestic mo- tives as the stuff of truisms. Thus in four chapters of Minding the Darkness, IV. viii ff. The abattoir of complicities and the barbeque of vanities spare no one. In Seculum, confessed inadequacy often provides the loam from which greater capacity grows, beginning with his felix culpa at Oxford in peter dale scott pdf download his degree in poli-sci like Hopkins clutching Scotus to his breast while his examiners drubbed him, Scott clove to Hegel and the Romantics.
He thus sags the fabric of reflection with referentiality and counter-weighting. But neither does he make hell into a way of seeing, as Pound did. Seeing as-is, seeing ordinary mind for what it is, can settle into neither righteous wrath nor aesthetics; exasperation plus calmed nerves mark Seculum, or balked witness plus release, the girl lost but none the less always still climbing from the dead.
Scott ventures to act out the rhetoric of Germanic memory-work and Thai-Forest alert compassion at the risk of merely mimicking the steep climb out of prematurely genteel compo- sure. For the detective, like the perps and peter dale scott pdf download bystanders, at times prefers not to grasp the complicity in broadly shared crime.
There is peter dale scott pdf download new timeliness to his studies of how brilliant minds can adjust themselves to the intolerable.
