Tithonus

Thomas, D. M. "Tithonus". (c) 1968/1982. In Umbral Anthology of Science Fiction Poetry, q.v. under Anthologies.

Poem. View from the outside of a man preserved as "a vast amputation," with body and brain brutally separated—and the brain preserved. Cf. and contrast D. Knight's "Masks" and works cross-listed under K. O'Donnell's Mayflies (see this Category).
