…commentary on the orbit
He drinks from his bitter cup and laments, “My darling is cruel.” She gets the blame for all his suffering. And while he burns in his fire day and night, she gives it no thought at all.

Gorgeous.
Ah but his jealousy and selfish desire is cruel to him.
Her beauty and dance is only love. What a gift if only he would not long to possess her!
What a wonderful post! Thank U!
I was reading some greek to roman myths to try and understand Shakespeare’s “tempest” and also some William Blake and poet Mina Loy came within my radar… and I swear, you just provided a missing ingredient!
I adore you and am grateful for your blog.

Oh! Yay! Thank you for the intriguing and kind comment! I have never read any of Mina Loy’s work! Where should I start?

I’m currently reading The Lost Lunar Baedeker Poems (Selected and edited by Roger L. Conover) But here is a link to the first poem I read by her called Songs to Joannes. Actually I read a condensed version of it first called “Love Songs” which was amazing but kinda changed the whole meaning because it was only 13 parts instead of 34. I ended up preferring the long version. The book contains both versions, however, with the shorter version appearing at the very end. Anyhow, she’s quite amazing as a writer and artist. I hope you enjoy her too! http://writing.upenn.edu/epc/authors/loy/poem_loy_Songs_to_Joannes.html#loy_joannes_title
