In the Shreve High football stadium, I think of Polacks nursing long beers in Tiltonsville, And gray faces of Negroes in the blast furnace at Benwood, And the ruptured night watchman of Wheeling Steel, Dreaming of heroes. All the proud fathers are ashamed to go home. Their women cluck like starved pullets, Dying for love. Therefore, Their sons grow suicidally beautiful At the beginning of October, And gallop terribly against each other’s bodies.

Lo (2009) Dir. Travis Betz

I summoned you, now I command you, Daemon Lo! Scour the depths of hell, find my girl, sit her right down in front of me, and then fuck off.

Apocalypse

c. 1380 Tapestry, height 430 cm Chateau d'Angers, Angers

The most popular picture-books of the thirteenth century were those that illustrated St John’s vision of the Apocalypse. The standard Apocalypse cycle, containing numerous scenes, was first developed in England. Those scenes were later used in creating other art forms, like the monumental tapestry woven in Paris for Louis d'Anjou. One element that was increasingly emphasized in both manuscript and monumental versions was St John himself, standing as a spectator within each of the scenes. He served to mediate the visionary experience for the beholder, sometimes looking through a window onto the action, but always registering an active response to what he is seeing.
