Notes

  • Dedication: I dedicate this latest work to: The Masters; Mistresses Ancient and Now.
  • Author's note: Tongues & Pinnacles is in 2 parts. In the 1st part I've attempted to give voice, mostly, to 'objects'. The 2nd part is the 'me' speaking.... Magnetic Isl. Qld. September, 1976.
  • Epigraph for Part One, 'Diction of Suns': Whoever you are holding me now in hand, / Without one thing all will be useless, / I give you fair warning before you attempt me further, / I am not what you supposed, but far different. Walt Whitman.
  • For it is not for what I have put into it that I have written this book, / Nor is it by reading it you will acquire it, / Nor do those know me best who admire me and vauntingly praise me, / Nor will the candidates for my love (unless at most a very few) prove victorious, / Nor will my poems do good only, they will do just as much evil, perhaps more, / For all is useless without that which you may guess at many times and not hit, that which I hinted at; / Therefore release me and depart on your way. Walt Whitman.
