From Ginsburg's diaries,

Saturday, February 3, 1945

   Kerouac is a romantic deluded poet.  Burroughs is
   a realist, interesting himself in sociology as an
   entertainment. Joan Adams has high consciousness--
   she chooses to live forsaking ambition and pride.

   Keys:  Supreme Reality-- the real universe.
          High Consciousness-- worthy thought
          Dilletantism-- action, life.


                                               I wonder about the chain
                                               of thought there.
                                               Kerouac, Burroughs and
                                               Joan don't quite work as
                                               examples of his "Keys".
