Abstract

Dooyeerdians tend to admit that indefinability characterizes an irreducible mode of being. At first, of course, this admission appears ludicrous. The modalities exist as a language for describing how the logical part of one encounters non-logical (not illogical) reality. But if they are pressed far enough, the modalities will discover themselves to be allusive or circumscriptive at best. To meaningfully use modalities at all we must already know to what they refer by the intuition of naive experience. For this reason, the dimension of keats's poem "Ode to a Nightingale" that I am about to open may seem reducible to something else, may seem like no true dimension at all to many people.

But that seeming reducibility speaks more of my reader than of the poem with which we have to do. As we explore the mystic insight to which keats ascends by way of nature and the Greek and Spenserian mythos, I beg my reader to suspend his or her disbelief and view my words as seeking to do what Thomas Merton advises, for a dead poet who can longer do if for himself:
