He longs for the unattainable to a fault, as revealed in the longing for the untouchable river, or to see famous poets baking odes in his kitchen. His fascination with the couplet reveals his desire to unite with the "one," or at least, to be the other side of the coin. It is more juxtaposition really, light/dark, ying/yang. But for Dr. Quigley, it is write/die, write/die. He couples himself to the unknown, almost unconsciously, and then leaves clues behind like a serial killer. We know the end of the story: he will be caught and lifted upon a stillborn flagpole for all to see. Thanks for that, Charles. A mysterious soul, Dr. Quigley.

Excellent balloon image to the rising action/critical consciousness of the poem. Strong line breaks and powerful resolution. A more revealing aesthetic and tangible cognition to the mystery of Doctor Quigely. This character seems to be reaching a zenith (as opposed to, once again, drinking from the river Styx).
