John Berryman - Dream Song 74: Henry hates the world. What the world to HenryJohn Berryman - Dream Song 74: Henry hates the world. What the world to Henry
Work rating: Medium


Henry hates the world. What the world to Henry did will not bear thought. Feeling no pain, Henry stabbed his arm and wrote a letter explaining how bad it had been in this world. Old yellow, in a gown might have made a difference, `these lower beauties`, and chartreuse could have mattered "Kyoto, Toledo, Benares—the holy cities— and Cambridge shimmering do not make up for, well, the horror of unlove, nor south from Paris driving in the Spring to Siena and on . . ." Pulling together Henry, somber Henry woofed at things. Spry disappointments of men and vicing adorable children miserable women, Henry mastered, Henry tasting all the secret bits of life.
