The Book of the Damned

And,
unless
you
be
polarized
by
the
New
Dominant,
which
is
calling
for
recognition
of
multiplicities
of
external
things,
as
a
Dominant,
dawning
new
over
Europe
in
1492,
called
for
recognition
of
terrestrial
externality
to
Europe--unless
you
have
this
contact
with
the
new,
you
have
no
affinity
for
these
data--beans
that
drop
from
a
magnet--irreconcilables
that
glide
from
the
mind
of
a
Thomson--
Or
my
own
acceptance
that
we
do
not
really
think
at
all;
that
we
correlate
around
super-magnets
that
I
call
Dominants--a
Spiritual
Dominant
in
one
age,
and
responsively
to
it
up
spring
monasteries,
and
the
stake
and
the
cross
are
its
symbols:
a
Materialist
Dominant,
and
up
spring
laboratories,
and
microscopes
and
telescopes
and
crucibles
are
its
ikons--that
we're
nothing
but
iron
filings
relatively
to
a
succession
of
magnets
that
displace
preceding
magnets.
With
no
soul
of
your
own,
and
with
no
soul
of
my
own--except
that
some
day
some
of
us
may
no
longer
be
Intermediatisms,
but
may
hold
out
against
the
cosmos
that
once
upon
a
time
thousands
of
fishes
were
cast
from
one
pail
of
water--we
have
psycho-valency
for
these
data,
if
we're
obedient
slaves
to
the
New
Dominant,
and
repulsion
to
them,
if
we're
mere
correlates
to
the
Old
Dominant.
I'm
a
soulless
and
selfless
correlate
to
the
New
Dominant,
myself:
I
see
what
I
have
to
see.
The
only
inducement
I
can
hold
out,
in
my
attempt
to
rake
up
disciples,
is
that
some
day
the
New
will
be
fashionable:
the
new
correlates
will
sneer
at
the
old
correlates.
After
all,
there
is
some
inducement
to
that--and
I'm
not
altogether
sure
it's
desirable
to
end
up
as
a
fixed
star.
