THE MARQUIS DE SADE AND THE SURREALISTS
The Marquis de Sade went back inside the spewing volcano
From which he came
With his beautiful hands still fringed
His eyes like a young lady’s
And that reason at panic level that was
His alone
But from the phosphorescent drawing room with viscera lamps
He never ceased shouting mysterious orders
Which open a breach in the moral night
It is through that breach that I see
The great cracking shadows the old undermined crust
Dissolving
To let me love you
As the first man loved the first woman
In full freedom
A freedom
For which fire made itself man
For which the Marquis de Sade defied the centuries with his great abstract trees
Of tragic acrobats
Clinging to the gossamer threads of desire
–André Breton, L’Air de l’Eau (1934)
The divine marquis,
the emblem of pride,
the burning iceberg,
bird of paradise...
–Max Ernst, Paramyths (1948)
"There can be no doubt: the substitution of natural forms for the abstractions currently used by philosophers will seem not only strange but absurd. It is probably fairly unimportant that philosophers themselves have often had to have recourse, though with repugnance, to terms that derive their value from the production of these forms in nature, as when they speak of baseness. No blindness interferes with defending the perogatives of abstraction. This substitution, moreover, threatens to carry one too far; it would result, in the first place, in a feeling of freedom, the free availability of oneself in every sense, which is absolutely unbearable for
