The world and for the world;
And the light shone in darkness and
Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the centre of the silent Word.

       O my people, what have I done unto thee.

Norman Mailer maintained:
"Paul Bowles opened the world of Hip.
He let in the murder, the drugs, the incest,
The call of the orgy, the end of civilization."

      Might have been an interesting conversation.
