Analysis of The Spiritual Nonsense .




The Spiritual Nonsense .

Bottom arrests wonder to Hamlet ,

As Alice travels Wonderland's gate ,

And Falstaff rises from death –bed .

Humpty Dumpty rides on Donquixote's back ,

Prospero wills Arden by Ariel's hack ,

Swift's tales as Gulliver reveals .

Invites Edward Lear to live in nonsense fable .

Aaron's cut off rod from Almond tree ,

Blossoms flowers as reason-free ,

And Jesus' touch washes death by bliss ,

Or turning a lover to vampire by Masuda's kiss .

The ghosts or saints in us are the twin-flowers ,

In the dark and lighted hemispheres ,-the two towers ,

Birth enjoins in death and death in birth ,

Evolves continuously earth after earth ,

And Faith is nonsense that adds grandeur

To incompleteness ,as phantasmagoria is our case .
