The Pampas again, surprisingly, almost unbelievably--in Melville

[Mark Kohut]

In eight lines in Melville's *Clarel, *his long self-divided exploration of

wrapped/counterpointed
 in a long anti-war poem,(---an essay tells me)

M alludes to the Pampas as a place symbolizing endless war.

Whoda thunk it?
