Allen Ginsberg, "Journals Mid-Fifties (1954-1958)"
HB: What struck me most reading the "Journals
Mid-Fifties" is the theme of love. You discuss it on a cosmic spiritual
level, but also in terms of a masochism and submissiveness you wrestle with

AG: I hadn't thought of it as masochism but I guess it's so.
HB: You use the word a lot.
AG: It's kind of a buzz word.
