> Detailing the homosexual relationship between himself and on-off lover Neal Cassady, Please Master could be described as a juxtaposition of explicit sexuality and innocent adoration. Free-verse in form, it was written following Cassadyโ€™s death in 1964. Their affair spanned a period of at least 20 years and was considered the driving force behind much of Ginsbergโ€™s most sexually charged works. It has been suggested that Ginsberg eventually realised that Cassady would never love him the way that he needed to be loved. Their relationship has been described as sexually and emotionally โ€˜abusiveโ€™ by Ginsberg, and by others that knew them, and there is strong indication of this in Please Master. First, the fact that Ginsberg refers to his lover as โ€˜masterโ€™ throughout the poem immediately indicates that he is submissive to a more dominant figure *************************************

No doubt Michael Pendragon will pretend not to see that.
