The Dark Ways Mysterious: Fragments

By: Tessitore, John

The Dark Ways Mysterious examines the energies-creative, erotic, Promethean-that define what it means to be human, as well as what is dangerous and forbidden. A pastiche of voices and styles spanning the history of art and literature-from Genesis and Sappho to Robert Johnson and Nabokov-it is a poem of pieces that explores "the forbidden creativity/ of the fallen man the pride/ and science of discovery "

My only plan is to steal the will of the gods
for Man, to drink from the secret spring of fire,
to build anew our love amidst the violence
of a desire we may never express completely,
and never possess, though we are bound to try.
