We re in the living labyrinth of Harold Bloom s astonishing memory here. Click to listen to Chris s conversation with Harold Bloom (32 minutes, 15 mb mp3). The great sage of New Haven is walking us through the dark, dense maze of his first and favorite poet, Hart Crane (1899 1932). Take this as a sort of companion piece to go with Helen Vendler s reflections on her own closest poet, Wallace Stevens. There s a preview, too, of Harold Bloom s next big book, coming in Spring, 2010, just before his 80th birthday. Living Labyrinth: Literature and Influence will reconsider his famous grand argument in The Anxiety of Influence (1973) about poets and their precursors. But the joy of this conversation for me is the generous, melting demonstration of Bloom s theory and his method tracing (with never a glance at text or note) the spidery links from Crane s words and images back to Melville, Yeats, Milton, Spenser, Walter Pater, and The Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible; with real-life anecdotes thrown in touching Hart Crane s friend the photographer Walker Evans, and his devotee the playwright Tennessee Williams. By the end of Harold Bloom s living-room performance, one of Hart Crane s most famous pieces, The Broken Tower makes a kind of music madly, deeply in tune with Bud Powell s Un Poco Loco. Listen for Professor Bloom s laughing indulgence when I tell him that, of course, Harold, the living labyrinth is you! A nice trope, my boy. Here, for before and after readings, is what Bloom calls Crane s death poem : The Broken Tower The bell-rope that gathers God at dawn Dispatches me as though I dropped down the knell Of a spent day to wander the cathedral lawn From pit to crucifix, feet chill on steps from hell. Have you not heard, have you not seen that corps Of shadows in the tower, whose shoulders sway Antiphonal carillons launched before The stars are caught and hived in the sun s ray? The bells, I say, the bells break down their tower; And swing I know not where. Their tongues engrave Membrane through marrow, my long-scattered score Of broken intervals… And I, their sexton slave! Oval encyclicals in canyons heaping The impasse high with choir. Banked voices slain! Pagodas campaniles with reveilles out leaping- O terraced echoes prostrate on the plain!… And so it was I entered the broken world To trace the visionary company of love, its voice An instant in the wind (I know not whither hurled) But not for long to hold each desperate choice. My world I poured. But was it cognate, scored Of that tribunal monarch of the air Whose thighs embronzes earth, strikes crystal Word In wounds pledges once to hope cleft to despair? The steep encroachments of my blood left me No answer (could blood hold such a lofty tower As flings the question true?) -or is it she Whose sweet mortality stirs latent power?- And through whose pulse I hear, counting the strokes My veins recall and add, revived and sure The angelus of wars my chest evokes: What I hold healed, original now, and pure… And builds, within, a tower that is not stone (Not stone can jacket heaven) but slip Of pebbles, visible wings of silence sown In azure circles, widening as they dip The matrix of the heart, lift down the eyes That shrines the quiet lake and swells a tower… The commodious, tall decorum of that sky Unseals her earth, and lifts love in its shower.
