Chapter 6 Analysing Forms of Aliveness and Deadness of the Transference—Countertransference

The Other Tiger

We’ll hunt for a third tiger now, but like

The others this one too will be a form

Of what I dream, a structure of words, and not

The flesh and bone tiger that beyond all myths

Paces the earth. I know these things quite well,

Yet nonetheless some force keeps driving me

In this vague, unreasonable, and ancient quest,

And I go on pursuing through the hours

Another tiger, the beast not found in verse.
