Volume 17
It continuously amazes the unprejudiced Mertzian observer that even the people that struggle
most against the limits of art are content to have sex in ordinary academic ways, as if they and
their bed-partners were nineteenth-century paintings. Or, worse, they will change the point of
view (top becomes bottom, male becomes female, etc. etc.) and think, like the magic realists that
they are, that they have changed something.
Everyone is guilty of this—from Jean Cocteau to Beethoven.
—Jack Spicer
