Example text
Against the background of colloquial, matter-of-fact tone and diction, phrases such as ' "have your roots" ', ' "Really myself" ' and ' "all became a burning mist" ' are, as their quotation marks in the poem testify, absurdly pretentious. Mockery is also present in the hyperbole of 'Blinding theologies', the pulp-fiction argot of 38 'she/Lay back', the far-fetched detail of the doggerel set in 'blunt ten-point' (a size of print). The diction appears bluntly ordinary, but in a very sophisticated way catches the shifting moods of a speaking voice.
As the speaker (and his 'representative') fmds himself 'gravitating' to the site of the church because of its 'seriousness', so we fmd the language gravitating towards a more abstract level and meditative tone. The clipped brevity of the phrases in the first stanza gradually expands into the assured, flowing rhythm of the final stanza as the poet reaches certainty. So, on closer reading, the poem is far from being an expression of snide cynicism about the importance of churches as it seems to be at its opening.
The present is created either by past anticipation and imagination or by future memory: in itself it is nothing. Hence, we can only live in an almost constant alteration of illusion and disillusionment as hope turns to disappointment. Deceptions Originally entitled 'The Less Deceived', this poem is in effect the titlepoem of the collection. It is written as a response to a passage from Henry Mayhew's book London Labour and the London Poor in which a young woman describes how she was drugged and raped.
