Continued: A contamination which Is dangerous but salutary Small souls perhaps, Burning like tapers, But burning steadily-- And capable of throwing Portentous shadows on the walls Which hem them in. All goes round and round. Creaking, wobbling, lumbering, Whimpering sometimes, But round and round and round. Then, if you become very still, Standing on a stoop, for instance, And carefully think no thoughts, A myopic, bestial clarity besets your vision.
For those who don't feel like raiding the bookstore: “To live outside the pale Is to wither and die. Beyond the pale there are only Dressed-up cadavers. They are wound up each day, Like alarm clocks. They perform like seals; The die like box-office receipts. But in the seething honeycomb There is a growth as of plants An animal warmth, almost suffocating A vitality which accrues From rubbing and gluing together A hope which is physical, As well as spiritual.
I would like to know the story of/in chapter 19.maybe a book he was reading,or a page in his life.i would always love to hear a writer's voice, like holden caufield said.and with yann is like that,even if you can hear his voice singing.his musique is like a story,written by the book of your imagination, so you would need to phone him or to talk with him sitting in a bar table.to hear his writer talking voice of the always different story he is able to create in your fantasy...
@yrautcas He didn't release the lyrics. However, of what I know, these lyrics are quoted from the 19th chapter of one of Henry Miller's The Rosy Crucifixion.

And there is a hub,
And in the center of the hub
There is--
Exactly
Nothing.”
