Some of the psychoanalytic returns, passing through the black hole sun. “But they were still asleep…” –Nerval. If you are here you can think through this knot with me, perhaps. (SO insane to put such a melody at the end….) But may you have a rare vision in tonight’s dream if you arrive at it. Two sonnets by Nerval; followed by the Franz Wright poem from Axe in Blossom. Black Sun, Depression and Melancholia Julia Kristeva. Translated by Leon S. Roudiez.
