V-2nd C4 Like the Racket Itself

[alice wellintown]

As with Eliot, and P does talk about this in his Intro to SL and in
the Intro to Farina's BDSL, the victorian repression of the 1950s, the
love song of the wasteland where Esther is rendered delinquent (her
period is late, she must abort the good doctor's child) because she is
an American, and and American female must be, as T discovered when he
spyed Athena in the nude, passive and covered up--her fertile fecund
force made a stone, her nose turned up against the soul in the delphi
that even Homer and Plato and Scocrates and snobs and scholars and
misanthropes like Adams and Pynchon can not deny the power of. SD, in
Ulysses saw the birth cord in the bag of the midwife, not Plato's, but
the cord that ran from his own blemished middle to the un-marked belly
of Eve.
