John Berryman - Dream Song 124:" Behold I bring you tidings of great joy"John Berryman - Dream Song 124:" Behold I bring you tidings of great joy"
Work rating: Low


Behold I bring you tidings of great joy— especially now that the snow & gale are still— for Henry is delivered. Not only is he delivered from the gale but he has a little one. He`s out of jail also. It is a boy. Henry`s pleasure in this unusual event reminds me of the extra told at Hollywood & Vine that TV cameras were focused on him personally then & there and `Just a few words . . . Is it what you meant? Was there a genuine sign?` Couvade was always Henry`s favourite custom, better than the bride biting off the penises, pal, remember? All the brothers marrying her in turn & dying mutilated until the youngest put in instead a crowbar, pal, and pulled out not only her teeth but also his brothers` dongs & no     doubt others`.
