Howl Page #4

Synopsis: It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and animation that echoes the poem's surreal style. All three coalesce in hybrid that dramatizes the birth of a counterculture.

What is the question?

The .. "C*nt" word mentioned here

we say...

relevant in the context of

Mr. Ginsberg?

Yes, I believe that using...

this collection of euphemisms

would be...

would have seemed dishonest

Mr. Ginsberg.

If I remember correctly, you...

also said

He believes that what Ginsberg

passed the test of time?

There's no way of knowing.

As there were those who thought

that "Leaves of Grass" would overcome.

I am asking the opinion

I wonder.

Can you give us your opinion?

I would venture a prediction.

I believe that this process

draws attention to "Scream"

which will have a wide range of readers

higher than they would

and can become

a milestone

along that path

leads to a greater or lesser

opening to the poems of this kind.

In general, the poem is a...

rhythmic articulation of feeling, yes.

And the feeling is...

an impulse that comes from within.

As the sexual impulse,

clear as that.

It's a feeling that arises

in the stomach

e... rises to the chest e...

of his mouth and ears as well.

E... is sometimes a whisper,

a moan, a sigh.

So if you try to put into words

and try to look around...

attempting to describe

the stimulus that sigh

sighs, and then the words,

are simply

Items your feeling, no?

The meaning comes later.

I do not know

I start to cry.

Because I know I

That means...

perhaps centuries, some

I can read it and be moved.

And that in itself...

After leaving New York

I was one year

in San Francisco.

I...

lived in an apartment on Nob Hill.

Dressed in a suit and tie...

I was at work with

a lot of secretaries... All things...

I started to like him.

I wonder

I could do it

e... I was not intimidated

by social conventions e...

that would put me

the cruel world of business.

E...

It was then that

I met Peter.

When I met with Peter...

changed everything for me.

It was as if the sky...

had golden dress.

Finally someone loved me...

How I loved him.

E... first,

in my life

I felt accepted:

Completely.

In San Francisco...

I took a year of psychotherapy

with Dr. X.

I was stuck, I can not write.

I tried to behave normally,

I was...

fear of being crazy, I was sure that

we hoped that he would be heterosexual,

something in me was wrong.

E... Dr. X was telling me:

"She would like to do?

What do you want the bottom of my heart? "

Finally, I said...

what I really wanted to do was...

Leave everything!

E... have

an apartment with Peter,

and devote

body and soul to write and

meditate, sweep,

smoking pot and doing...

all I wanted.

E... he said,

"So why not?"

And then I asked:

"And what do I do if...

"I grow old,

and I'll get any pee in your pants,

"I live in a furnished room,

nobody loves me e. ..

"The white hair, no money,

I need help to eat... "

He said:

"Do not worry about it."

"She is very charming and adorable

and people will love him forever. "

What a relief to hear!

The...

spiral of fear, you know!

One thing that does not exist.

"What sphinx of cement

and aluminum

"Divide their skulls

and eating their brains and imagination?

"Moloch! Solitude!

Dirt! Shame;

"Many

U.S. dollar unreachable!

"Children

screaming under the stairways!

"Boys sobbing in armies!

'Old men weeping in the parks!

"Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch!

"Moloch loved!

Mental Moloch!

"Moloch heavy judging

men! "

Lo and Peter...

a day that saw Moloch

and walked on the street.

God that you are

sacrifice with fire.

But..

in my mind was what...

brought my mother to madness.

So I wrote this verse.

"Moloch whose eyes

are a thousand blind windows! "

I had a word.

And the dynamics of a rhythm:

So it was just...

look up

to see many windows and say, "Ah!

"Windows of course."

But what kind of windows?

E...

Not only that!

"Moloch whose eyes."

Which is beautiful in itself, but...
