Porphyria's Lover
BY ROBERT BROWNING
The rain set early in to-night,
       The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
       And did its worst to vex the lake:
       I listened with heart fit to break.
When glided in Porphyria; straight
       She shut the cold out and the storm,
And kneeled and made the cheerless grate
       Blaze up, and all the cottage warm;
       Which done, she rose, and from her form
Withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl,
       And laid her soiled gloves by, untied
Her hat and let the damp hair fall,
       And, last, she sat down by my side
       And called me. When no voice replied,
She put my arm about her waist,
       And made her smooth white shoulder bare,
And all her yellow hair displaced,
       And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,
       And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,
Murmuring how she loved me — she
       Too weak, for all her heart's endeavour,
To set its struggling passion free
       From pride, and vainer ties dissever,
       And give herself to me for ever.
But passion sometimes would prevail,
       Nor could to-night's gay feast restrain
A sudden thought of one so pale
       For love of her, and all in vain:
       So, she was come through wind and rain.
Be sure I looked up at her eyes
       Happy and proud; at last I knew
Porphyria worshipped me; surprise
       Made my heart swell, and still it grew
       While I debated what to do.
That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
       Perfectly pure and good: I found
A thing to do, and all her hair
       In one long yellow string I wound
       Three times her little throat around,
And strangled her. No pain felt she;
       I am quite sure she felt no pain.
As a shut bud that holds a bee,
       I warily oped her lids: again
       Laughed the blue eyes without a stain.
And I untightened next the tress
       About her neck; her cheek once more
Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss:
       I propped her head up as before,
       Only, this time my shoulder bore
Her head, which droops upon it still:
       The smiling rosy little head,
So glad it has its utmost will,
       That all it scorned at once is fled,
       And I, its love, am gained instead!
Porphyria's love: she guessed not how
       Her darling one wish would be heard.
And thus we sit together now,
       And all night long we have not stirred,
       And yet God has not said a word!

' Lilith appears in Goethe’s Faust, Part 1. In the midst of the revelry atop the Broken in the Walpurgis Night scene, Lilith appears, the supreme temptress who even frightens Mephistopheles. He warns Faust:

Beware of her fair hair, for she excels All women in the magic of her locks; And when she winds them around a young man’s neck, She will not ever set him free again.24

And in the Pre-Raphaelite artistic movement Dante Gabriell Rossetti portrays Lilith in the following poem.

Of Adam’s first wife, Lilith, it is told (The witch he loved before the gift of Eve,) That, ere the snake’s, her sweet tongue could deceive, And her enchanted hair was the first gold. And still she sits, young while the earth is old, And, subtly of herself contemplative, Draws men to watch the bright web she can weave, Till heart and body and life are in its hold. The rose and the poppy are her flower; for where Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare? Lo! as that youth’s eyes burned at thine, so went Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent And round his heart one strangling golden hair.25 '

"Would you please more closely examine Intuitive's Telegram network broadcasts and tell us how we can swiftly achieve a real, safety-oriented --- local and non-local --- emergency response?"

Every person we interact with has some kind of answer to this question. It is important that we discover that answer with every person we are interacting with, especially those with authority to initiate more collective action in fullest awareness of inclusive safety needs and ensuring no harm is done in helping.

Asking this question as part of our initial interactions is how we begin to establish trust and manifest our most helpful answers. —-@maxmorris

Ni Sunrise ni Extinction Rebellion son perfectamente inclusivos ni democráticos. Sunrise apoya una transición justa y se ha asociado con organizaciones de trabajadores como Fight for $ 15 y Raise Up NC, pero los Activistas informan que su base sigue siendo desproporcionadamente blanca y de clase media(...)

Los Líderes de XR a menudo tienen problemas incluso para ver que se sientan en la Cima de las Estructuras de Poder, tanto en la Organización como en la Sociedad. Estos Problemas Internos son un síntoma de su enfoque más amplio en los llamamientos morales sobre las dinámicas de poder(...)

Esta ceguera se debe a su estructura organizativa. El llamado a una “holacracia” no jerárquica tiene beneficios: la falta de rigidez puede ser una alternativa refrescante a las reuniones del partido con debates secos sobre las reglas del quórum. Sin embargo, en realidad, los Líderes de facto de XR tienen un poder desmesurado, y las Bases tienen pocas formas de reemplazarlos o hacerlos responsables. El Equipo de Prensa, por ejemplo, da forma a la imagen de XR para que todo el mundo la vea.

Tal dominio por parte de personas internas no elegidas es en parte el resultado de lo que la feminista estadounidense Jo Freeman alguna vez llamó la " tiranía de la falta de estructura ". Ella sostiene que cada grupo forma jerarquías y que mantenerlas informales hace que sea más difícil responsabilizar a los líderes: es mejor, quizás, tener una jerarquía transparente que una que pretende no existir (...)

XR, por el contrario, es una organización dirigida por Voluntarios sin personal remunerado. Muchos de los Voluntarios son de tiempo completo y el trabajo que realizan es admirable. Pero esta configuración perpetúa el dominio de aquellos que no necesitan un empleo remunerado y dificulta que las personas sin ventajas económicas asuman el liderazgo. (XR da modestos estipendios de vida a algunos Coordinadores, pero solo una vez que se han establecido como voluntarios).

No está claro cómo XR toma decisiones financieras. Los líderes de XR han establecido dos Empresas Privadas, Compassionate Revolution y Climate Emergency Action , para recibir Subvenciones y Donaciones, que han totalizado al menos $ 2 millones desde 2018. Quienes controlan los fondos no son responsables ante las Bases de XR. (El Equipo de Prensa de XR se negó a responder a las solicitudes de comentarios para este artículo) (...)

En el peor de los casos, XR es más una cruzada moral que un esfuerzo enfocado para lograr el Cambio. Según un nuevo estudio , muchos de los activistas XR con los que hablamos tenían poca confianza en la victoria. Como resultado, hay una tensión de pensamiento apocalíptico presente en el Movimiento.

Esto es evidente en sus expresiones artísticas nihilistas y la popularidad del trabajo de Jem Bendell, lo que sugiere que el colapso social, debido al Colapso Climático, es inevitable.https://jacobinmag.com/2020/12/climate-change-protest-strategy-electoral-politics-sunrise-extinction-rebellion
