An Elegy
on a Night Party-1
The paradigmatic shift in the conceptual map of my liberal and
revolutionary platforms of radicalism, existentialism and humanism make things
aesthetically absurd and practically effective. Living in the present and
progressive tenses of time and space I tend to contradict my ‘Other’ (purely
theoretical), who was conceived as a result of Theory and Philosophical
classes.
Receding past
bequeaths an un-ravished beauty of poetry within my foster memories of great
poets and their offspring - poems. I’m going through a ‘deep romantic chasm which slanted down the green hill athwart a cedarn
cover!’
I feel Coleridge, the great poet whom I
resemble with the mystic feelings and visions of mystic abyss. I am living the
life at its zenith of vivacity and I celebration of soul. I do it at-
A savage place! As holy and enchanted
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil
seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were
breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding
hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s
flail:
And’mid these dancing rocks at once and
ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
(‘Kubla Khan’)
The purgatory pain I’ve conceived as a result of my infinite
fight against the stagnant system of society (superannuated existence of
incongruous traditions and practices; inception of anarchist Methodism and
premature abortion of zeitgeist) lead me unto the solitary islands of floating
operas in the endless existential conflict of restless humanity.
Monstrous shapes of pyramids and modern
structural marvels amaze me for no reason, but for the nothingness of mine
compared to their monstrousness. I like to be under the mega structures because
I feel the laxity of the pace of the time beneath these structures. They say
time never runs around the pyramids of Gaza. They are right because I do feel
it when I face the almightiness of great mountains and the vastness of might
waters (they are also part of this mighty constellation).
Eyes closed, mind emptied; soul heightened,
body relaxed; they sing the hymns in the chapel, where I find not many, but a
few. They sit on the pews (as if they missed something from the usual course of
time and the aisles of events. It seemed that somewhere they resembled me in
many ways of reflecting life.
The archetypal
configuration of my thoughts in to a pragmatic style often brings a constellation
of inexplicable ‘events’. Polychromatic-life on the floors of bars and streets
with the luminescence of neon lights, incinerating and watching the secrets of
night, I walked on the long stretched-out concrete pavement stretching unto the
pointless edge of the haste-contest of the humanity. I found no one, but lost
souls singing and lusting the unconscious miseries and mysteries of burdened
life. They lament on the ‘hamertia’(Tragic
flaw) and ‘peripetia’(A sudden change
of events or reversal of circumstances, especially in a literary work) of
their real-life drama in which they even don’t realize their roles and where
life becomes nothing but a written play, they play and play. I hear nothing but
sounds.
