Paglia thinks it is the place where the poem goes wrong (except for the albatross itself, which she sees as a red herring) -- something must have frightened STC, she thinks. Gregory Bateson read it in terms of some sort of irreducible asymmetry between consciousness and practice. I'm not sure how to read this moment or the poem as a whole, and I don't know anyone who is, but I am sure that this is one of the places in literature where one feels the pulse of something absolutely essential. skholiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05410057905377189336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-63948279636896038612016-03-17T21:59:00.818-06:002016-03-17T21:59:00.818-06:00Oh that is just fucking dope, Tim!
