Thinking

First
they are beautiful

stored with ideas

ever ready to
escape error

necessary to the form
of the world within

necessary equally to

the pleasure of
thinking

counteracted by
the languor

of relief, stored in

uneasy sensations,
pleasure –

the necessity of thought.

(cut-up: The Mysteries of Udolpho – Ann Radcliffe)

My various cut-up postings will now be from my first found poetry project, this based on the notional British novel canon.
