"The Mysteries Remain," by H.D. (Hilda Doolittle)

Reading/video of a short poem by H.D. evoking a mythological, pantheistic view of life and nature. It alludes to Demeter and Bacchus, Greek gods.

"Pandora Protests Just Enough"


Right--as if evil weren't in the world
already. You fucking gods are such liars:
okay, that isn't news. But
your lack of imagination?

"Yeah, we kept evil in a box,
but then we gave the box to this lady,
who went and opened it." That
is some weak shit.

So, look, either Prometheus
was evil for stealing your little
torch, or you are evil for torturing
him, or both. Ergo, evil pre-dates me.

It's your world. We just live in it.
The truth is the box was empty
until I started picking up beautiful
things and putting them inside.
