>>>*I* never claimed to have a "reading" of what Canto One is "about,"
Keith.
*You* did.<<<
Why all this pissiness? It is fine with me if you do not have, or wish not
to share your reading of the Canto. I was just curious. Not many have shared
a reading of the Canto, so I was wondering what you, and others, do with it.
If you think I claim to know what the Canto is about, you are taking me much
more seriously than I take myself. I think I am doing a Kinbote to the poem
at this point.
>>>Quotations are cool, but please give them some context and relate them to
something. Anyone can post a list of miscellaneous quotations from a book
and claim they inherently "prove" some point. All I'm asking is that you
reference these 20+ quotations with some sort of analysis, is all.<<<
I am not interested in doing that kind of analysis at this point. Just
tossing out tidbits to see how they resonate.
>>> I have nothing to prove on this issue ... but you do. <<<
Looks like my reflections yanked northward the waistband on those boxers.
