Humpty Dumpty

[Glenn Scheper]

You think a thread with Kubla Kahn, Alice in Wonderland,
Jaberwocky and Joyce isn't going to draw me out like an
enzyme fitly matched to that which it digests? My forte,
or zeal, is recognizing the tropes of autofellatio.

Humpty Dumpty's fall is the existential crisis following
the great fall, himself a synechdoche of egg, for semen.
In Revelation, MEGA, great, loud, etc., is the marker of
various reflexive carnal speech acts. At least I say so.

I would not have thought to describe the inverted torso
as WALL, save I saw it in Shelley or Gray or some other
of my arcane fellows. Let's see who's handy...

Here is a perfect trope of the autofellator's torso as wall:
> in Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries... Leaning his head
> against the wall, Isak puts his hand on a protruding nail,
> and the descent into limbo sequence begins.

Of course Yeats would recognize such terms in Blake:

This KWIC of wall appears to run true in Dostoevsky:

possibilities and the stone wall; not to be reconciled to on
me, that even for the stone wall you are yourself somehow to

Of course gods male and female do it:

 Anunaki and they turn the eyes of death upon Inanna, turning
 her into a corpse. A servant comes and takes her body and
 hangs it up on a meathook on the wall.

We should all recall P's MORTALITY AND MERCY IN VIENNA:
> Siegel,
> paralyzed,
> watched Irving Loon go into the bedroom,
> drag a chair over to one wall,
> stand on it,

(a standard metaphor of our domain is that seat=throne=mouth).

Ezekiel 47:1 (Facing east, his south means his right hand):
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and,
behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the
house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward
the east, and the waters came down from under from the right
side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

Of course, who is Cinderella but the female Narcissus?

Oh, yeah! And with the finger of God no less,
...writing is on the wall...

This is worth a study, knowing Rev.'s horse encodes coitus:

Aha. This might well be where I learned it originally:

(and many other lines)

Or perhaps I got it from Goethe,

_SPIRIT SONG OVER THE WATERS_
THE soul of man Resembleth water:
>From heaven it cometh,
To heaven it soareth.
And then again To earth descendeth,
Changing ever.
Down from the lofty Rocky wall Streams the bright flood,
Then spreadeth gently In cloudy billows O'er the smooth rock,
And welcomed kindly,
Veiling, on roams it,
Soft murmuring,
Tow'rd the abyss.
Cliffs projecting Oppose its progress,-- Angrily foams it Down
to the bottom,
Step by step.
Now, in flat channel,
Through the meadowland steals it,
And in the polish'd lake Each constellation Joyously peepeth.
Wind is the loving Wooer of waters;
Wind blends together Billows all-foaming.
Spirit of man,
Thou art like unto water!
Fortune of man,
Thou art like unto wind!

But enough of walls, I find it further in the Bible and Blake,
Faerie Queene, Divine Comedia, and Coleridge's intersubjective
feminine Christabl ("hung in a murky old niche in the wall")
and his Kubla Khan:

No time left today to speak of Carroll and his nicker snacks,
bowspirit for rudder, and the snark that discovered he was a
Boo---, and died mid-word. Perhaps another time.
