WHO KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON By Juan Ramon Jimenez

Who knows what is going on on the other side of each hour?

How many times the sunrise was there, behind a mountain!

How many times the brilliant cloud piling up far off was already a golden body full of thunder!

This rose was poison.

That sword gave life.

I was thinking of a flowery meadow at the end of a road, and found myself in the slough.

I was thinking of the greatness of what was human, and found myself in the divine.

«A tu abandono opongo la elevada

torre de mi divino pensamiento;

subido a ella, el corazón sangriento

verá la mar, por él empurpurada.

Fabricaré en mi sombra la alborada,

mi lira guardaré del vano viento,

buscaré en mis entrañas mi sustento...

Mas ¡ay!, ¿y si esta paz no fuera nada?

¡Nada, sí, nada, nada! —O que cayera

mi corazón al agua, y de este modo

fuese el mundo un castillo hueco y frío...—

Que tú eres tú, la humana primavera,

la tierra, el aire, el agua, el fuego, ¡todo!,

...¡y soy yo sólo el pensamiento mío!»

'Nada', Juan Ramón Jiménez.

[spectaculardistractions]

From Salvador Dalí [Cadaqués, March 1932] Dear Luis, I’ve just received your letter, which I consider to be very serious indeed. I see you have completely abandoned all the ideas (surrealist) that we shared until now, and all for the sake of party discipline. I am surprised that the simple fact of joining the Communist Party should eliminate all vestiges of intelligence, even in individuals such as Aragon and yourself who (although no proof of this existed previously) might now be mistaken for the most elementary and infantile obscurantists. I am going to address in haste (because it would take ten more letters) the points in your letter that I regard as the most fundamental and the most monstrous. The most striking of which is your absolute lack of dialectic. You talk of your unspeakable plan to go on with the magazine as if nothing had happened, and to make it strictly surreal and experimental with no political articles (!); when it is not the communist articles the communists object to, but the strictly surrealist ones (the Kharkov resolution); in fact, the communist articles were introduced by the communist-surrealist faction. This all seems nonsensical to me, especially the unimaginable sentence with which you conclude your explanation that I cite here verbatim: ‘This approach may not be brilliant, but time will prove us right.’ No, this will never prove us right because surrealist experimentation is, and always will be (if genuine), regarded as very subversive by today’s society (that is to say, by the bourgeoisie), and as infinitely more subversive by today’s communists, as they are paving the way for a bourgeois state of mind and ideology that is far inferior in evolutionary terms. As for the films, I beg you not to undermine the gravity of this issue with yet another phrase that, again, is absolutely inexplicable coming from you: ‘Do not forgive their artistic errors.’ Artistic errors!! It’s not about those errors (which do exist). Those films, shitty proletarian literature, etc., etc., are polemical works, with entirely propagandistic ends; they are the faithful expression of the spirit and ideology to which they aspire; these are polemics that are not only permitted (PERMITTED) by the government but made by that same government. Those films and that literature are abominations, made in the spirit of ideological shit, on grubby mysticism, on veiled sanctity, etc., etc.. That was what made Aragon cry when he saw Earth, Dovzhenko’s infamous film, not its artistry, but its ideological content. It is all unforgiveable; we are not talking, therefore, about artistic errors (I for one will never forgive the indecent optimism of that poem ‘Red Front’, I find it shameful, poetically speaking. Poppies are red flags! It sounds Andalusian! It could almost, almost be Catalan!!!) However, the most unbelievable phrase in your letter is this one: ‘This new spirit of communism will reach future generations when the imperialist threat has passed, the dictatorship of the proletariat will come to an end with the disappearance of the social classes’. This phrase is exactly the kind of reformist fatalism in the realm of politics that you all (and rightly) used to hate so much; it is the equivalent of saying: ‘There is no need to protest now nor prepare for the revolution because communism will arise inevitably out of the development of history and inherent contradictions of capitalism’(!). ‘This is what the future generations will get’!!! This is your anti-dialectical reasoning when faced with the most transcendental and most human spiritual questions. As this new state of mind and morality is the inevitable consequence of social and economic revolution, we do not need to concern ourselves with them any longer. WHAT SHIT! Those of us who have defended ideological and spiritual subversion honestly demand intervention, violent, incessant and urgent intervention in this sphere, as in the political sphere, through the most effectively revolutionary actions. Historical materialism based on the constant assimilation of scientific evolution raises serious questions today: there are endless indications that this new obscurantism suggests that significant aspects of modern knowledge have not been incorporated into Marxism, nor into proletarian culture, and even that a significant amount of that knowledge has been brutally rejected. They do analyse with some objectivity the case for psychoanalysis as today’s Marxists perceive it. But it is truly shameful. There are some completely erroneous ideas in Marx and Engels (on love) that may have been due to shortcomings in scientific knowledge at the time, but that are still held today. These ideas have been subjected to absolutely no modification to date, in spite of the overwhelming existence of Freud. Had Marx, who appreciated as if it were his own the saying that ‘nothing human is alien to me’, and who turned even the meagre insights of his time to good effect when constructing his theories; had Marx known Freud, do you not think that he would have modified his timid theories of love? Everything is being violently rejected by the Stalins of today who are organizing the most chaste, most REPRESSED society in history: playing checkers (?); physical exercise and only the kinds of love they consider to be natural and healthy (!!). They are conjuring up the most horrendous form of spiritual slavery. The rejection of everything that seems to be subversive in modern natural sciences is the same as the rejection of surrealism, instead all efforts will be channelled into the creation, little by little (alongside the great and magnificent economic revolution) of a bourgeois spirit, starting with the current shit of proletarian art and eventually raising ‘future generations of ever more perfect spirit’. Juan Ramón Jiménez, for example, will surely be modified, but it will be for a more gentle Juan Ramón Jiménez, one that is less aggressive and more bourgeois as in the future communist society he will not have been influenced by our aggressive age of class and economic struggle. In your case and in Aragon’s, your absolute lack of appreciation for historical responsibility is monstrous. We may forgive the millions of revolutionaries who have no knowledge of surrealism, but in your case, you KNOW what surrealism represents for this age (particularly now, in the age of Russia’s moral brutalization): THE ONLY POSSIBLE FUTURE FOR THE WORLD, FOR THE SPIRIT, AND FOR TRULY SUBVERSIVE MORALITY, I say your attitude is unforgiveable for we have a unique historical mission that depends on our own activities and conscience. I know that you are both sincere people and that may well make it worse. With your new communist stance, you are as distant from me as Federico was when he published his Gypsy Ballads. All of this reflects a frightening spiritual weakness that makes me think you never felt surrealism as I did. Surrealism will be strengthened by this future split because it was being held back by that unfortunate political dilettantism, from now on we shall denounce all shit, even if it is proletarian. In fact, Aragon has not existed as a surrealist for a while now. And you have contributed nothing to surrealism, theoretically, despite my very high hopes of you. Surrealism is the only moral consolation left: you cannot imagine how strongly I condemn your attitude. Down with the bourgeois and reactionary optimism of the five-year plan! LONG LIVE SURREALISM! This time, I violently demand a reply from you: there are no legitimate excuses; you cannot leave me with no news again for three months. It is very important for our friendship. I await your immediate reply with all the candour and violence you think necessary. Regards, Dalí PS If we could talk, you would see that I am able to expand on and justify everything that I’ve just said here, because I am surrounded by notes and extremely well informed on all these matters, they are as familiar to me as to any communist. I’ve done nothing but read Marx (or ‘about Marxism’?) for the last three months. I am preparing a long article on what Marx called bestial love and modern sexual love, full of documentary evidence and enormously objective. In it, I conduct an extensive analysis of perversion as an essential characteristic and condition of human love in that it (perversion) presupposes the intervention in love of intelligence and imagination. What we call human love is in fact bestial: but I demonstrate all of this with reference to quotations well known to everyone and with a precise methodology.

Il tuo sesso nero, soave come piuma

d'uccello, tra le sete bianche, gialle e malva

era ai miei occhi come un faro d'ombra

in un agitato mare di tiepide ombre pallide.

Un aroma acuto, come d'isole esotiche

fluttuava nel soave calore delle tue cosce.

Naufragai impazzito, senza ordine né meta,

nell'odorosa atmosfera delle tue gonne!

Con che tristezza, poi, come in fragile alba

di soavi nubi bianche, gialle e malva,

vidi, dall'indolente tedio della spiaggia

spegnersi la luce d'ombra della notte...

[spectaculardistractions]

From Juan Ramón Jiménez [Madrid, February 1929] My most well-known and dear surréalistes, I agree completely with you both and the third person hiding behind you: everything I have published to date is worthless, and as I have myself said many times I am ashamed of most of my written work. Whatever you might say about my work, I have already said, in my own words, despite the fact that, to my dismay, according to critics of both sexes and the opposite sex from you, my work is the foundation of almost all contemporary Spanish and Hispanic American writing in poetry and prose, verse and criticism. But you are, as well as surréalistes, cowardly idiots. Your Franco-Catalan patter reveals you to be incapable of the most basic command of Spanish; merde is meaningless to me and, as you must have known, I would never stoop to respond to your particular brand of gutter language. Nor would I succumb to the ridicule of engaging my supporters, male, female or ‘pansies’ (as my Moguer locals call you). You should also know that my friends were delighted with your letter, and they judge you to have made a fine job within it of depicting the most vibrant portrait of yourselves. Many thanks from this admirer of your abilities, J. R. J.

Tw: mass shooting mention, homophobia mention, violence mention

On June 12, 2016, a man opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He killed 49 people and injured 53 more before he was killed by police. I will not include his name in this post, as his memory is not what I wish to honor. I wish to pay respects to the victims of that violent night, and I will be listing their names as a way for anyone who reads this post to remember them. None of them deserved the violence and inhumanity that they experienced.

I am writing this post as a way to honor the victims of that night, and because I wish to remember them. I want to remember that these people lived and breathed within my lifetime. I was 12 years old when the shooting happened, and I remember sitting on the couch and watching the news. I wanted to cry out of grief and fear. But all I could do was sit in silence because my family did not know I was queer and would not have understood if I tried to explain why I was grieving for those people that died. I knew from a very young age that there are people in this world that hate people like me. I knew that I would experience hate. And I knew that violence against people like me happened, but that day was the first day I was scared to be myself, and it was the first day I was scared for everyone like me.

I am older now, and I know that violence and hatred have not gone away, and I don't know if they ever will. I would be lying if I said I don't still feel afraid sometimes, but I know that I am stronger now as a person, and I know that the LGBTQIA+ community is stronger too.

I will list some links to LGBT+ charities and organizations below if anyone would like to donate to honor the memory of those we have lost.

Happy Pride everyone.
