“This portion of the poem describes almost perfectly the path that Neal Cassady/Mystery Man walked through New York City, exiting Central Park at 7th Street, ending up on the lower East Side, even looking over his shoulder, the reference to horses from Emily Dickenson’s poem…the horses in the poem drive the carriage that is death…the last lines of Adonis fit Baelfire exactly. I could go on and on but I don’t have time. Kaddish and Howl are Ginsberg’s two most famous poems and they both are based on his early experiences.”
Wow fairy dust. Thank you for that. And the rest of your post. All some very interesting things.
I’m amazed sometimes how people can put all these things together.
Also kudos to the writers of the show. It just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it ?
I love all these references to stories and culture.
