Mr. Arcularis...Road From Mind To Pen
Mr. Aiken, complex web that you weave, Trick our minds so we can't conceive, The time,
The people,
The place.
Mr. Arcularis
where, who, are
you?
Had you been written about the man who wrote Tess
The trip through your mind would not have been a success. For you see Arcularis, 19th Century lit was just one dimension
To suggest dual reality would have meant white coat apprehension
Oh sure, trauma happened. It was there. It went.
But no subconscious, symbol filled, messages were sent. Questions were tangled, answers were simple and bound That is, until the road from the mind to the pen was
found .
Even on the ship's journey your subconscious merges with your dream
The sleepwalking to the coffin demonstrates a key Freudian theme
The coffin, a symbol of death reaches out toward you Your subconscious responds by visualizing the final view A view of polaris, of stars, of "untrodden land",
Only to be brought back to reality by a rubber gloved hand
The road from the mind to the pen has evidently been found
Reader's now know answers are not always laid on simple ground.
