Long abstractIn the future I want, I am a cormorant. A screeching sea-crow, I perch on a high branch on the Tree of Life over-looking Paradise. My eyes flare with greed, and with two senses of the word “want.” Things appear down there, spread out below me, things that I lack (“want”) and things that I desire (“want”). “Various” is the word for what I see. “A happy rural seat of various view” (4.247) is the full line in Paradise Lost, but it’s just “various” that I crave.1 These three sylla-bles roll around inside my bird’s mouth. Various. All of the things that inhabit this Paradise, laid out before me. Not just one thing, but another.
