Doom-Eager:
Term Martha Graham borrowed from Ibsen: when we’re unable to embrace any other way of life.
A phrase of Norse Mythology. An ordeal of isolation, restlessness, caughtness and artistic experiences when he or she is sick with an idea.
She applies this to: “Death and Entrances” inspired by the Bronte Sisters and a book of poetry of Dylan Thomas of the same name written just after World War II.
