NPPF Canto 1 Incest Motif

[s~Z]

>>>On the quotation below, let me just briefly note that VN seems to be
talking about dreams of a prophetic nature rather than psychological
revelations.  His view seems to be that one can transcend material
actuality within the space of one's dreams. (Robert Graves had similar
ideas, and his statements about proleptic vision would be illuminating in
this context.) I don't think his uncanny is Freud's - in fact, quickly
googling about suggests he may actually have been famous for loathing
Freud, for reasons that further conflict with the argument you are making.
I wonder if the following quotation is relevant ...<<<

My reading has nothing to do with Freud, and I read the quote
through my hypothesis that ADA has clues for interpreting PF.
I.e., seeing ADA as the dot-arrow pointing back to PF.

"Learn to distinguish banality. Remember that mediocrity thrives on 'ideas.'
Beware of the modish message. Ask yourself if the symbol you have detected
is not your own footprint. Ignore allegories. By all means place the 'how'
above the 'what' but do not let it be confused with the 'so what.' Rely on
the sudden erection of your small dorsal hairs. Do not drag in Freud at this
point. All the rest depends on personal talent." - Vladimir Nabokov
