Kenneth Patchen - Let Us Have MadnessKenneth Patchen - Let Us Have Madness
Work rating: Medium


Let us have madness openly.          O men Of my generation.          Let us follow          The footsteps of this slaughtered age:          See it trail across Time`s dim land          Into the closed house of eternity          With the noise that dying has,          With the face that dead things wear—          nor ever say          We wanted more; we looked to find          An open door, an utter deed of love,          Transforming day`s evil darkness;          but We found extended hell and fog Upon the earth,          and within the head          A rotting bog of lean huge graves.
