2.
When I had recovered somewhat from these events,
I replaced the photograph as I had found it
between the pages of an ancient paperback,
many parts of which had been
annotated in the margins, sometimes in words but more often
in spirited questions and exclamations
meaning "I agree" or "I'm unsure, puzzled" –
The ink was faded. Here and there I couldn't tell
what thoughts occurred to the reader
but through the blotches I could sense
urgency, as though tears had fallen.
I held the book awhile.
It was Death in Venice (in translation);
I had noted the page in case, as Freud believed,
nothing is an accident.
Thus the little photograph
was buried again, as the past is buried in the future.
In the margin there were two words,
linked by an arrow: "sterility" and down the page, "oblivion" –
"And it seemed to him the pale and lovely
Summoner out there smiled at him and beckoned . . ."
– Louise Glück (2014)
