Readers of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2016\/10\/17\/leonard-cohen-makes-it-darker\">David Remnick\u2019s extraordinarily moving profile<\/a> in <em>The New Yorker<\/em> know that he had been preparing for death. Still, it felt like an act of cruel and unusual punishment after Trump\u2019s victory, and like many Cohen fans I couldn\u2019t help connecting his death to the election. Was it a sign of some sort? Had Cohen been so dejected that he decided to call it quits? Did Trump kill him?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You may laugh, but it\u2019s no less plausible a theory than pretty much anything from the president-elect\u2019s mouth. When I heard the news of Cohen\u2019s death, my first thought was:\u00a0Hey, that\u2019s no way to say goodbye. Then I\u00a0remembered that Neruda, one of Cohen\u2019s favorite poets,\u00a0died as Pinochet established his grip on power. Neruda was spared the sight of Chile\u2019s grim descent into torture and extrajudicial killing, and the imposition of a regime of murderous silence. But he did not vanish: his poems of revolutionary love were like fireflies in Chile\u2019s dark night, providing sparks of hope that the day of liberation would come.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We\u00a0cannot afford to abandon this hope. As long as the firefly light of art continues to flicker\u2014as Georges Didi-Huberman writes in <em>La Survivance des<\/em> <em>lucioles<\/em>,<em>\u00a0<\/em>his monograph on another great revolutionary poet, Pier Paolo Pasolini<em>\u2014<\/em>we will be safe from what, following Pasolini, Huberman calls \u201ccultural genocide.\u201d We\u2019re a long way from cultural genocide, of course, but the threat that Trump represents to our culture can hardly be underestimated. Trump World is a lurid arena\u00a0of alt-right social media and mass rallies, where the Leader and the Mob gather to escape their terror of being alone; a place of bellicose clamor and blinding light, where Pasolini\u2019s fireflies can scarcely be seen. Cohen, on the other hand, wrote \u201csongs from a room\u201d (the title of his 1969 album), songs of radical introspection, honesty, and intimacy, the very values that Trump loathes. Cohen called them songs of love and hate, but he wasn\u2019t much of a hater.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Love was his deepest faith, but it was permeated by the messianic Judaism of his ancestors, which accounts for the biblical allusions that run through his songs, what Walter Benjamin might have called their \u201cprofane illumination.\u201d And though he was not an explicitly political artist, his songs are already nourishing a spirit of resistance to the\u00a0new order, much as Neruda\u2019s poems did for the people of Chile after the overthrow of Allende. In \u201cEverybody Knows,\u201d for example, a song full of the mordant humor that coursed through his late work, Cohen remarks: \u201cEverybody knows the war is over \/ everybody knows the good guys lost.\u201d This was no expression of despair. On the contrary, he was warning against the cynical postures of those who prefer to sit on the sidelines when barbarism spreads. He knew that the war had barely begun, and that the \u201cgood guys\u201d\u2014very much including the women he loved so fiercely\u2014had to keep fighting. He never stopped, even as his once dulcimer voice took on the cracked timbre of a frog. May he\u00a0find the peace that continues to elude us, now that he has left us for his Tower of Song.<\/p>\n<p><em>Adam Shatz is a contributing editor at the <\/em>London Review of Books<em>, and a fellow in residence at the New York Institute for the Humanities.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leonard Cohen\u00a0died on November 7, a day before the election, at eighty-two.
