>>> 09/01/02 LOVE'S NOMENKLATURA In spare moments, idling Time's engine, goose-stepping, guarding Lenin's tomb. What is here? Eloquent and chaste militant mannerism? Marking time? Marching into abysmal night? Fears and cautions intermingled: Tomb/time, trial/temptation. What is there? Left/right? Might has fallen ... Hard times, cold times, night-times, many times? Over and over again, guarding Lenin's tomb. Word/landscape, Logos/cosmos, thought exemplified, map-making. Feeling is foreign, willing universal, passion consolable. Russia of heart and mind - unruly, tongue-tied, brilliant, passionate land. Resist all formalizing, temporizing, Westernizing: Guard Lenin's tomb.
