The Latent Made Manifest
Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)
About this poem
How ironic is the interplay of Life and Death. Where one begins, the other ends. Where one ends, makes space for the other’s beginning. This Senryu poem is reminiscent of the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare’s enigmatic philosophical characters Próspero, Ariel, and Caliban in his 1610-1611 play, ‘The Tempest,’ with this perplexing, baffling, mystifying statement uttered: “When I waked, I cried to dream again.” Such is the poetic world of dreams.
