The Alphabet of Desire

The Alphabet of Desire from Pater Carroll's "Liber Null" depicts the 21 principle emotions.  The root of each emotion is in its opposite.

Desire is a circle

Desire is a wheel

Desire is a menu

Of things that we feel

Pleasure, sex, love, pain

Round and round and round again

Break, O break the chain

Quit the rim

Spiral within.

A rite of illumination
