| Tristan and Isolde; Salvador Dali (1944) |
from TRISTE TRISTAN by Paol Keineg
trans. from the French by Rosmarie Waldrop
Tristan, Iseut, etc.
take nudity by storm —
the poor girl has escaped,
bursts of hate
all around the woods,
and the burghers
end up with a beautiful wedding,
the dog taken in with the loot —
the gift of oneself estranges the self,
we’d like to ruin
these militant lovers.
