There Is No Life or Death
Mina Loy
1882 to 1966
There is no Life or Death,
Only activity
And in the absolute
Is no declivity.
There is no Love or Lust
Only propensity
Who would possess
Is a nonentity.
There is no First or Last
Only equality
And who would rule
Joins the majority.
There is no Space or Time
Only intensity,
And tame things
Have no immensity.
Mina Loy's There Is No Life or Death
I am busy working to bring Mina Loy's "There Is No Life or Death" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Mina Loy's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "There Is No Life or Death" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
