Oppen on Objects
suppose, instead of an 'instant archeology'
that imagines a personification of things already known,
one imagines the first objects to become object to living consciousness-
their force is that among sensations they emerged as objects-
can we suppose, in the history of the Sacred, a greater moment ?
This is the ground the poem's meant to stand on.
George Oppen, Selected Letters, p. 248
