When I think of Marx, what comes to mind is not the iconic and huge-bearded impoverished titan working heroically in the British Library Reading Room and writing below his best for the American press in order to feed his wife and kids. Rather, I think of the youthful Karl Heinrich studying in Berlin and writing sonnets to his unwell love Jenny von Westphalen, ‘Love is Jenny, Jenny is love’s name’, he wrote; she called him ‘my little wild boar’. Or I think of him in his room sketching the first act of his pretty awful tragedy, Oulanem, or arranging the chapters of a sub-Sternean humoristical novel called Scorpion and Felix, complete with sub-Shakesperean puns (‘A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!’, said Richard III. ‘A husband, a husband, myself for a husband’, said Grethe), and extended jokes about constipation,
‘Grethe! How many days is it since Boniface last had a motion? Did I not instruct you to administer to him a lavement at least once every week? But I see that in future I shall have to take over such weighty matters myself! Bring oil, salt, bran, honey and a clyster!
‘Poor Boniface! You are constipated with your holo thoughts and reflections, since you can no longer relieve yourself in speech and writing!

What is it about the experience of emptiness, about turning your back on the world and facing nothing?
For me, this happens in front of the sea, each time I face the brightness over the sea. One looks at the sea and feels an emptiness. Facing the sea is absence regarded. It evokes a feeling that I want to call calm. The body slows and the mind lays by its trouble and adapts itself to the rhythm of the waves, where time is tide, and tide is endless to and fro, coming and going. Time becomes a circle rather than a line, a cycle endlessly renewed rather than a movement of decline or deadlines.
At times like this, I begin to think. To be honest, I don’t know what goes on in my head much of the rest of the time, or what to call what goes on in my head, but it is not thinking. Facing the emptiness of the sea, one begins to think: slowly and with a deliberate carelessness.
Cities sometimes slip into the sea, eaten alive by their thoughtfulness, like Dunwich on the Suffolk coast in East Anglia. Or the sea slips away from them, in some act of historical thoughtlessness, where tides’ time thickens into silt. Harbours get blocked with silt and clogged with mud, becoming unnavigable. The land seems to rise like the wooden top of an old school desk and the cities slip back into an inkwell of obscurity, like Ephesus and Miletos on the Ionian coast in Turkey or Istria at the mouth of the Danube. Other cities are destroyed by a vindictive violence that is the enemy of thought like Carthage, ravaged brick by brick with godless Roman arrogance. Silt sometimes slows the water, allowing malarial swamps to form, like Torcello in the Venetian lagoon, the proto-Venice with its rubble in the marshes and a few lonely Byzantine mosaics.
I sometimes dream of writing a volume on the role of silt in determining the shape of world history and I imagine whole chapters on lagoons and blocked harbours and subsections on ox-bow lakes and alluvial deposits.
I have, for as long as I can remember, been obsessed with cities prior to their settlement or at the moment of settlement. I like to think of what opposed sets of eyes were seeing and minds thinking as white sails were spotted on the horizon at what would become Jamestown or Botany Bay or off the coast of the treed vastness that would become Brazil. I think of vicious settlers, happily decimating the local populations; I also think of the broken Jesuits who landed in Brazil with the text of a Papal bull declaring that they must save the souls of the natives. I think, repeatedly, of the first European feet to tread on Manhattan, on this hilly, handsome island situated on a huge river beckoning possible passage to the Indies.
I try and think about the places I know at a point approaching emptiness and therefore, I suppose, thoughtfulness.
Emptiness – this is how the earth will be after humans have finished with it, or – more likely – it has finished with them.

Some time ago, I began to develop a theory of impossible objects. I began to ponder my relation to those things, qualities and places about which I had an obsessive relation. The three objects picked out at that time for special treatment were poetry, humor and music and I tried to write books about them over the years.
But I kept coming back to the realization that what unified my relation to these objects was the fact that whatever I said about these things was useless. I would never succeed in pinning them down, defining or appropriating them. I
established a taste for impossibility and my own philosophical redundancy.

My friend David is an anarchist anthropologist. It is to him that I owe the true story of Gotham. It was a small village in south Nottinghamshire which, during the reign of bad King John in the early 13th Century, decided to forgo the questionable pleasure and huge expense of welcoming the King and his considerable retenue. Instead, they decided to behave like idiots. It is reported that royal messengers found the villagers engaged in ridiculous tasks, like trying to drown an eel or joining hands around a thornbush to shut in a cuckoo. King John took fright and moved on. This story of Gotham as a village of idiots or full of would-be village idiots, burbled down through history until Washington Irving picked up the legend as an appellation for New York in the early 19th Century and the name stuck, right through to Batman and beyond. It is also the name of a chic restaurant on Manhattan’s West 12th Street, between 5th Avenue and University Place, which offers an excellent and reasonably priced lunch menu, despite being full of idiots. New York is a city of idiots, a town full of crazies, some of them under medication, some of them exploring their inner truth, some of them doing both at once. One or two New Yorkers still try to scare the king.
But the idiocy of New York also has another deeper dimension evoked at the beginning of E.B. White’s wonderfully tightly written memoir, Here is New York. ‘On any person who desires such queer prizes’, he begins, ‘New York will bestow the gift of loneliness and the gift of privacy’. Of course, this is deeply paradoxical, but completely accurate in my view. The prize of life in New York is the only privacy that is worthwhile, one that is not lived sequestered behind suburban walls but lived in the crowded exposure of the public realm, on the subway or on the street. The loneliness of which White speaks is utterly foreign to a feeling of alienation or anomie: it is the gift of idiocy. In the many idioms of New York life, idiosyncrasy and individuality can meld together. Provided, of course, that one is lucky. But, as White adds, no one should come to live in New York unless she is prepared to be lucky. The idiocy of New York can forge the strongest individuals, but it can also destroy them and drive them mad.

Nice to meet you. Tell no tales of history and nightshade.
When history ends we will stop reading poetry:
which ruins will yield fresh property? A mining magnate

world literature (catharticised) for a good chunk

Spectre of heavy metals in tar babies, in type-

we see from our different philology, phenotype? Jam tree,

Mr and Mrs H will drive past and check out

entire peace is; no names no references no citations
no indexes no search engines that struggle less or torture
‘some might claim’: claim might torture
epidemic ‘barbarians’, appropriate

smooth, shed bark. Here, in the valley, how many of us
believers and non-believers fence-sitters bought Christmas

We call our household a family commune. It defers

feudal nest site. My hoping is a welcome.
Heavy-handed ants have appeared under the doors and scour
the tiles. Bits of hair and skin always falling. Self-interest.
And so, tax and tackle the records we keep, lazy
journal entries or zippy comments on the calendar,
a dipping of the lid to mythology, Kulture,
wherever, stretching out for items
like spice in Dune, or a soul concisely; the traffic
in body parts knows no boundaries, limb for limb,
a shudder, a walking over your grave as you reduce
expression to single syllables = pick one, any one =
but can’t help humming a tune, a neume —
those inevitable grave-digger victories
whether THEY know what’s good for them or not.
Someone known by someone I know called the other CLASS
‘the big eaters’: if you can’t wait for dinner, fill
up on bread. Ring a bell? Oh, yes, those ‘estranging
consequences’ and big country houses
in which we cluster to read our verse,
as positive a function of our clique as might express
my eremitic bent; education counting impulses: check it out.
No, no, the spectre didn’t in truth drive Pound

In Book 8 of the Confessions, Augustine describes himself as ‘still tightly bound by the love of women’, which he describes as his ‘old will’, his carnal desire. This will conflicts with his ‘new will’, namely his spiritual desire to turn to God. Alluding to and extending St Paul’s line of thought in Romans, Augustine describes himself as having ‘two wills’, the law of sin in the flesh and the law of spirit turned towards God. Paralyzed by this conflict and unable to commit himself completely to God, these two wills lay waste Augustine’s soul. He waits, hesitates, and hates himself. Seeing himself from outside himself, from the standpoint of God, Augustine is brought face-to-face with his self and sees how foul he is, ‘how covered with stains and sores’. He continues, ‘I looked, and I was filled with horror, but there was no place for me to flee away from myself’.
Such is the fatal circuit of what Michel Foucault calls the Christian hermeneutics of desire opposed to the pagan aesthetics of existence. In a seminar at New York University in 1980, Foucault is reported to have said that the difference between late antiquity and early Christianity might be reduced to the following questions: the patrician pagan asks, “Given that I am who I am, who can I fuck?” The Christian asks, “Given that I can fuck no one, who am I?” Foucault’s insight is profound, but let me state categorically and without a trace of irony that, as a committed atheist, I side with the deep hermeneutics of Christian subjectivity against the superficial pagan aesthetics of existence. The question of the being of being human - who am I? – that begins with Paul and is profoundly deepened by Augustine arises in the sight of God. The problem is how that question survives God’s death. This is Rousseau’s question in his Confessions, it is Nietzsche’s question in Ecce Homo, and it is Heidegger’s question in Being and Time. In my less humble moments, I think of it as my question as well. Whether or not he exists, we are slaves to God.

SC:
In the Philosophy of Right, Hegel writes, ‘No people ever suffered wrong. What it suffered, it merited’. This is wrong.
Hegel’s idea is that suffering is justified historically. That is, suffering is suffering for the sake of world history, for the sake of what he sees as Spirit’s relentless forward movement, that culminates in the Germany of the early 19th Century or, indeed, in the Fukuyama-esque delusions of the so-called ‘New American Century’ into which we are slowly crawling. Such is the secular theodicy of Hegelianism and related progressivist conceptions of history.
This is what Hegel means when he speaks gnomically at the end of the Phenomenology of Spirit of ‘the Calvary of Absolute Spirit’. Calvary is Golgotha, a field of skulls. History is a field of skulls, a cemetery. There’s no denying it. But is it the case that, as Aeschylus’ characters repeat in the Oresteia, we suffer into truth, and that such truth finds expression in the world we inhabit?
Such is perhaps the truth of the Hegelian dialectics of history. But in saying this most of the world’s inhabitants, both human and animal, are condemned to suffer in falsehood.
But life is not dialectics. It is joyfully ridiculous and it is best conveyed not in a philosophical system, but in a joke, a paradox, a fragment.

I remember my first trip to America, the continent and not just the country. It was in 1991, I was 31 years old. Flying, eyes wide shut, somewhat bewildered, from St Louis to Memphis, I was reading Locke’s Second Treatise on Government, the opening pages to be precise where he famously declares, ‘In the beginning, all the world was America’. I glanced out of the window at the treed vastness of the undulating landscape beneath me. This big, strange country. The act of violent settlement, however many centuries have passed since the original expropriation, seems to confirm for me a sheer contingency of life, the layering of a savage domesticity over a vast and alien nature.

What is closer to me than myself? Nothing. Yet, how does one say this? How to express this closeness as closeness, i.e. closely? It is enormously difficult, as when Heidegger says that what is closest to me in everyday life is furthest from being understood, where he quotes Augustine saying that I have become to myself a terra difficultatis, a land of toil where I labor and sweat. It seems to me that the only way of expressing the closeness of self to itself is indirectly, through other voices and personae, through anonyms, pseudonyms and Pessoa’s ‘heteronyms’. These heteronyms are the names of strangers, they are ways of estranging the self so as to approach it, to approximate it, in closeness.
This closeness to self and to world and of self to world is so close that one cannot separate them, divide and sunder them. Self and world are of a piece, they are one piece of a garment that should not be broken down into pieces like mind and reality or subject and object. They are the one piece of which I am made and which I have made. We are thrown into a world that appears ready-made, yet the world is what you make of it. That is to say, self and world are a fiction, a fiction that we take to be true and in which we have faith. The difficulty is making that faith explicit.
All one can try and do in a book is to tell the truth. One can only do this in a fiction, by putting on a mask, by naming oneself with a heteronym. If truth is a fiction, or truth has to be related in a fiction because it cannot be articulated directly, then this raises the question: is there what Wallace Stevens, after Santayana, calls a supreme fiction, a fiction in which we could believe, where it is a question of final faith in final fact, the fiction of an absolute? Stevens insists that the latter, ‘is possible, possible, possible. It must be possible’. It is at the very least unclear whether the repetition of the word ‘possible’ is a symptom of strength or weakness. It is telling that a poet of the supreme caliber of Stevens only felt that he could write ‘Notes Towards a Supreme Fiction’.

As night falls in the mountains, the sounds of birds and the buzzing of insects slip away to near silence, as the first frogs are heard and their huge broad bass begins to spread across the valley floor.

I can no longer hear myself. I shut my eyes in the hammock and await the appearance of stars.
