“The path followed by civilisation today shows that not only does the surplus jouissance support the reality of the fantasy, but also that it is on track to supporting reality as such. This can be expressed, if you like, in terms of a reality that has become a fantasy.” Jacques-Alain Miller

Fine poets on wounds A not admitting of the wound Until it grew so wide That all my Life had entered it And there were troughs beside A closing of the simple lid that opened to the sun Until the tender Carpenter Perpetual nail it down Emily Dickinson, circa 1870

Fine poets on wounds

A not admitting of the wound
Until it grew so wide
That all my Life had entered it
And there were troughs beside

A closing of the simple lid that opened to the sun
Until the tender Carpenter
Perpetual nail it down

Emily Dickinson, circa 1870

“In the majority of significant childhood scenes the subject sees himself in the recollection as a child, with the knowledge that this child is himself; he sees this child, however, as an observer from outside the scene would see him.” Sigmund Freud, Screen Memories

“The fact that in the unconscious there are signifying chains, subsisting as such, which, from there, structure and act on the organism and influence what appears externally as a symptom, is the heart of the analytic experience.” Jacques Lacan, Seminar V, Formations

If the moon smiled, She would resemble you. You leave the same impression Of something beautiful, But annihilating. Both of you are great light borrowers. Her O-mouth grieves at the world; Yours is unaffected. Sylvia Plath, The Rival

If the moon smiled,
She would resemble you.
You leave the same impression
Of something beautiful, 
But annihilating.
Both of you are great light borrowers.
Her O-mouth grieves at the world;
Yours is unaffected.
