v,
thanks for taking the time to read, and the little anecdote! if you could guide me as to where you began getting lost, I would find that immensely helpful (is it right from the onset?). I'm going to try some things right now to see if I can make it a little clearer
**
So, Frank is tall and has a nice voice--
and he drives this Mafia boss around town.
-- The name of the man is called Justin Flatts.
-- Oh, that's the name of the man?
-- No, that's just what the name is called. The
name really is Danny Boy.
-- Then, I ought to have said, 'That's what the
man is called."
-- No, that's quite another thing. The man is
called Buck-- but that's only what he is called.
-- Well what is he then?
-- Frank.
(TLG, ch.8.)
A question of identity. Same as in my poem
"Praesopitus."
Even at this late date, I am taken by the
subjects of poems, and how they are objecti-
fied-- without the help of anything on earth.
Delighted,
V
