"
My beloved who wills not to love me:
My life which cannot love me:
I seduce both.
She with my round kisses…
(In the smile of my beloved the approbation of the cosmos)
Life is my art…
(Shield before death)
Thus without sanction I live.
(What unhappy theodicy!)
One knows not-
One desires-
Which is the sum.
— A TRANSLATION FROM THE FRENCH OF JEAN-LOUIS INCOGNITEAU -Jack Kerrouac translated by Allen Ginsberg-1945
