Lizards and Lobsters
He used to be reserve goalkeeper for Hereford United FC, and then a minor TV sports presenter, but now David Icke is a world-famous loooooooooon. He goes on about the Royal Family being lizards. He also claims to be the son of God. He might be indeed. We shouldn’t scoff like Kent Brockman. Yet, as my friend says �I refuse to believe that the son of god would have such a bad mullet.�
And talking of loons, the poet Gerard de Nerval was institutionalised after being found leading a lobster by a blue ribbon around the Palais-Royal. In this article, Daniel Mark Epstein introduces translations of some poems in which there is �the yearning for a woman, the anguish of love lost [and] the desire to atone with the object of desire�. The poems �are the first steps in the soul�s journey toward divine love and illumination.� Or “madness” as some of us know it.
