64. Constructive criticism
Is music our self-deception,
the seducer of our lives,
that led us wrong into the blind alley of self-love
as addicted slaves in selfless and blind service
to the cruel insensitive divinity of beauty?
Doubt is necessary for our love,
there is no right way unless it is doubted,
re-evaluated, criticized and tried again for life
in constant re-examination and exacting scrutiny,
so that our love can overcome all obstacles
and indefatigably purefied proceed and grow
and spite all human baseness and vulgarity
to triumph constantly forever like a Phoenix
leaving everything behind that was not beautiful enough.
