The Non-Works
of
Samuel Tyldsley
Notes
There once stood a man,
Master of his world -
But alas, he is no more,
Though the world remains.
This page
is predominantly black. It breaks, jaggedly, into a section
of white in the center of the page,
where the poem is written in the black, gothic script. A white moon
is drawn in the upper right-hand corner of the page. In the lower
left-hand corner, an elderly figure in a
blue robe sits on a rock and contemplates
his reflection in a puddle while he stirs it with a branch/cane which he
holds in his right hand.
Though some
see this poem as a statement about the irrelevance of
christianity in the modern world,
(They interpret "a man" to mean Jesus
Christ) I think this is merely
a restatement of sentiments already
expressed in previous poems regarding
the futility of man's existence.
The song playing
is "Painless' Suicide" from the film, 'M*A*S*H*' and can be found at
Alice
Kelly's Midimania Page
