Transcript of The Art of Angst
angst (noun): 1. a feeling of anxiety, apprehension, or insecurity. 2. an acute but nonspecific sense of anxiety or remorse. 3. (in Existentialist philosophy) the dread caused by man's awareness that his future is not determined but must be freely chosen.
Oh Olson, Whose character parallels unsociety, Whose obsession with highs leaves him a human, Whose anxious mind undresses the world, Whose hunger makes a skeleton ideal, Whose search for the truth brings him here, holds him there, throws him out, keeps him in, makes him him, me, you, them, us. “And to the wind,” he says, But the snow will lat anew the canvas of the followers, And the animal instinct makes a child howl at the moon in agony, Forever the kindred spirit, Oh Olson, Oh brother, Throw out your arms and tighten your back in preparation for the blows inevitable, For brids take the same form to fly.
