New Yorker's "Conclusive Evidence": the warm flat stone (fwd)
Date
Body
I belatedly and hesitatingly suggest--it is almost two months since the
discussion and most subscribers may have forgotten about it--that the image
of a rattlesnake which slips toward the warm flat stone in Ch. 16 of
_Conclusive Evidence_ could be related with the last part of Ch. 6.
After his famous confession that he does not believe in time is: "This is
the ecstasy, and
behind the ecstasy is something else, which is hard to explain. It is like
a momentary vacuum into which rushes all that I love. A SENSE OF ONENESS
WITH SUN AND STONE. A thrill of gratitude to whom it may concern--to the
contrapuntal genius of human fate or to tender ghosts humoring a lucky
mortal." The rattlesnake is probably searching for the ecstatic oneness?
