CYCLE FOURTEEN

1. Some people might think me poetically fanciful, but I have come to regard blue-eyed people as, in some sense, the flower of humanity, or the human race, with green-eyed people akin to the stalk and brown-eyed people akin to the soil - always more soil than stalks or flowers in any garden.

2. It may be that some people, whether of grey or almond eye coloration, are akin to compost in the soil of humanity. But, whatever the truth might be, they would seem not to be akin to the soil itself.

3. I am a kind of eye snob, for I can never bring myself to regard the brown-eyed as equal to either the green-eyed or the blue-eyed.

4. I do not, as a rule, sexually admire brown-eyed women. For me, brown-eyed women are an almost inevitable 'turn off'. I would not have romantic designs, were I capable of such designs, upon brown-eyed females.

5. I do not 'look up to' the brown-eyed. As an artist I much prefer green- or blue-eyed people.

6. It would appear that brown-eyed people more easily and even happily crowd together than persons with blue or green eyes. In fact, since most people have brown eyes of one degree or another, they tend to form the bulk of crowds anyway.

7. I have always disliked crowds, because there are so many cowardly creeps of a snide disposition hiding away in them that it becomes unpleasant and uncomfortable to have to mix with the crowd.

8. Even stalks to flowers or plants have to remember that they are not of the soil but above it. But the flower is above the stalk, and therefore that which is furthest removed from the soil - not least of all in the case of our human analogue.

9. Am I a racist? Yes, in a certain physical sense of course I am, but, then, why on earth shouldn't a person with blue eyes or even green eyes, not to mention brown or any other colour eyes, be so?

10. I detest racial equalitarianism! It stinks to heaven of lies and filth! It is an aspect of the levelling mediocrity and mendacity at large in the contemporary world, and should be exposed by the artist and independent-thinking individual - in short, the intellectual.

11. In general terms the British - especially the English - are more brown eyed than the Irish, and it is probably on that account that there are so many brown-eyed foreigners and non-white 'Britons' in England. For a people who were overly blue-eyed, or even green-eyed, would have found it unattractive to venture to the far corners of the globe and involve themselves with largely brown-eyed peoples in the course of developing a massive overseas Empire. Certainly the Gaelic Irish would not have gone out of their way, voluntarily, to involve themselves with the well-being or otherwise of brown-eyed foreigners!

12. Britain - and England in particular - has sunk into the mud, and the deplorable result is the democratic equalitarianism of which racial equality is but an aspect.

13. England is not a good place for flowers and stalks, for it constantly makes war on the artist and the intellectual from the viewpoint of the masses, reducing everything to the lowest-commonest-denominator of worldly uniformity, in which independent thought is suffocated or driven out of what is increasingly becoming a barren and godless wilderness.

14. Sometimes even a man of truth, a god, has beautiful thoughts, which bring him closer to the poet.
