of residents   of tartar of the teeth
black copper hair green copper ring around
the ego and soul   swells of parakeets

if it is not happiness well what then
so frequently your share of exciting
happiness thru beeds thru various jems

Peripateticism in Robert Walser

Robert Walser’s work is defined by the action of walking. A walk is an attempt to remain upright while continually moving forward. So is an essay. This essay proposes to take two large steps (made up of many smaller steps). It will attempt to define the concepts behind walking in Walser’s work, and then show the where and how of those concepts in several examples of Walser’s writing. It will attempt to remain upright. It will attempt to move forward. It may stride. It may tiptoe. It may circle back or zig-zag. It may even lose its balance. It will attempt to catch itself.
