on crazy weekends, crazy lives (aragon)

At last the senses have established their hegemonies over the earth. In the future what conceivable purpose can reason serve? Oh, reason, reason, yesterday’s flimsy ghost! – I had already expelled you from my dreams, here I am on the verge of seeing them couple with apparent realities: this place is filled with my self. Reason vainly strives to have me denounce the dictatorship of sensuality. It vainly cautions me against error, queen of this realm. Enter, Madame, my body is your crown and scepter. I stroke my delirium like a pretty horse.

- 3, Le Paysan de Paris, Louis Aragon
