NPPF: Summary Line 347-Line 376

[Scott Badger]

Line 347-348: She twisted words

I'm not sure what to make of this commentary. Kinbote points out the
unlikely coincidence that a "mirror-word" example that he uses with Shade,
redips/spider, is also one of the words Hazel used to "twist". Evidence, he
claims, of a resemblance between Hazel and himself. Or is that, reZEMBLAnce?
A *mirrored* image, where right is left and depression is manic?



Line 367-370: then-pen, again-explain

Some punning, at least, going on in these "curious" lines. At line 369,
"[...] then again:", not only do we get the word "then" again, but the "en"
sound is repeated additionally as well, as Kinbote notes. There is also the
guarded/pen pun that I think was pointed out previously on the list.



Line 376: poem

It seems Eliot is the target here, but why? Because of his less disciplined
blank verse (Shade)? Or, his lack of zemblian fancy(Kinbote)?
