Peacock Brainstorm

Peacocks are on my mind.  I have been reading both Anecdotes of the Prince of Peacocks, and I'm digging the colors. 

Harmonium's Peacock seems to be in the mind's landscape- "in the moonlight, in this milky blue. . .midst of sleep."  But Berserk (violent, deranged, unrestrained) is working in the dreamland "setting traps," which could be madness or frustration or limits or wakefulness. "Dread of the bushy plain," which is full of "blocks and blocking steel."  Or maybe Berserk is Rage.  "Blessed rage," 'red" and "sun-colorod."  There is an ominous threat looming behind the peaceful, innocent sleep. 

But in the 1919-20? Prince of Peacocks, the tone is tired.  The colors are white and nothingness, which reminds me of our discussion on the nothingness sandwich around human existence. 

In the land of the peacocks, the prince thereof 

Grown weary of romantics, walked alone,

In the first of evening, pondering.

. . .

He seemed to seek replies,

from nothingness, to all his sighs.

"My sighs are pulses in a dreamer's death!"

Exclaimed the white one, smothering his lips.

Other stuff I was thinking on. . . .
Peacock symbolism
immortality in Christian churches
renewal of the soul/ resurrection
royalty/nobility

Juno/Hera
Alchemy - "cauda pavonis"

Peacocking-- a seduction technique? setting "traps in the midst of dreams?"  I doubt that.
