But I can't understand him and you can. Can you "translate", please?

I pose the question to the list. Any one? What is Paul talking about
now? 

He won't tell us. Otto won't.   can any one? 

PS I think it is not unreasonable to say that I've read as much lit-crit
and crit-theory as anyone on this list so I don't want a bibliographical
dodge. Don't recommend books, I've got library full of lit crit. just
answer the question. please!
