The Outsider is not susceptible
to the general enthusiasm

He is bound to be a child of his century

He must believe that he alone is wrong

the dream reveals his future path
the idle singer of an empty day

He is afraid

the world was not created to meet his demands

The Outsider’s problems…

to stand for truth instead of imagination

a creature of nightmare
no longer homo-sapien
but an existentialist monster
who rejects all thought

He cannot live in this form

each one carries the remains of his birth

slime and eggshells
to the end

the other world is closer

Ghost Stories
& the breath of scandal

To be shy and live in torment
Like a ghost in the midst of a well-ordered house

the necessary expression
of boldness and intelligence

He has turned his face away

the chaos still exists

cowardice cannot result in freedom

His desire is to be unverified

it is the strenuousness that proves the thought

will precedes essence

man is not of fixed enduring form

the narrow bridge between nature and spirit
dreaded as much as desired

clinging to the self
the surest way to death

Moments of insight

Salvation in extremity
Wretchedness in compromise

freedom in release from unreality’s song
