It had been held that the economic system, any capitalist system, found its equilibrium at full employment. left to itself, it was thus that it came to rest. idle men and idle plant were an aberration, a wholly temporary failing. keynes showed that the modern economy could as well find its equilibrium with continuing, serious unemployment. its perfectly normal tendency was to what economists have since come to call an underemployment equilibrium.
Men Perfectly Normal Aberration
At the still point of the turning world. neither flesh nor fleshless; neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, but neither arrest nor movement. and do not all it fixity, where past and future are gathered. neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

I was on television a couple of years ago and the reporter asked me, "how does it feel being on mainstream media? it's not often poets get on mainstream media." i said, "well i think you're the dominant media, the dominant culture, but you're not the mainstream media. the mainstream media is still the high culture of intellectuals: writers, readers, editors, librarians, professors, artists, art critics, poets, novelists, and people who think. they are the mainstream culture, even though you may be the dominant culture."

I am an innovator. this is a term of distinction, a term of honor, rather than something to hide or apologize for. anyone who has new or valuable ideas to offer stands outside the intellectual status quo. but the status quo is not a stream, let alone a 'mainstream'. it is a stagnant swamp. it is the innovators who carry mankind forward.

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

What i mean by socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain­slack brain workers, nor heart­sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all - the realisation at last of the meaning of the word 'commonwealth.'

I have always been in favor of a healthy americanization, but that does not mean a complete disavowal of our german heritage. it means that our character should take on the best of that which is american, and combine it with the best of that which is german. by doing this, we can best serve the american people and their civilization.

Suddenly, i saw it in a new way, as a picture that offered me a new view, free of all the conventional criteria i had always associated with art. it had no style, no composition, no judgment. it freed me from personal experience. for the first time, there was nothing to it: it was pure picture. that's why i wanted to have it, to show it - not use it as a means to painting but use painting as a means to photography.

When i think about it like that, it feels like a burden. but that won't mean i'll be single for the rest of my life - i hope. i feel very settled with myself in my world. i don't feel as needy and desperate to prove things about myself. in my twenties i was very keen to achieve this and disprove this and that. now i enjoy just being able to concentrate on my children and my work and myself.

The whole history of man is continuous proof of the maxim that to divest one's methods of ethical concepts means to sink into the depths of utter demoralization.
