The WreckIgnitions Read: A soul take

[Mark Kohut]

In order to overachieve and overpost, my library scholarship now includes
a terrif book called The Literary Influence of The Golden Bough.........

which does a masterful job of summarizing some themes of Frazer's,
(among much else...some to follow as comic relief)

But, back to the text, para 1, page 3 [Penguin Gass edition] "might have ruffled 
the shy
countenance of her soul, if it had been discernible."   A face is imaged...

and one generality he says Frazer found in pre-industrial communities
was the belief that the soul separated from the body at death. (soul
was somehow not mind, conceptually).
