Our text stretched from 24 to 41 last week: a base on which the work as a whole rests in terms of themes and arc. Here, Brit. and Art. at last meet, and Ed shows his plan to route the streams of love through the fixed, end marked paths of epic, one spouse joined to her chos\u2019n in the end. J. W. put it so: Brit. is the knight of the rom. and the gal of that form which the bard of Chios once sung. She drives on\u2014no truck with err\u2014like the chief\u2019s wife whom the sire of Greek plays brought to life: of a \u201cman\u2019s\u201d mind? But the spur to fight for Brit. was, and will be, an ache b\u2019low the waist. The words of seers comes to a blind date.<\/p>\n
Yet this bit also sounds with com.: notes of mirth and hot spice. Why? There\u2019s the rub. Claire looked back to the time-tried loves of mythed courts; J. Y. looked forw\u2019d to those realed plots of 18th<\/sup>\u00a0and 19th<\/sup> c. books. M. K. peered at how Brit. and Art. peer at their mate\u2014as one mirr\u2019r matched to the next, while Em. brought us to care\u2014to those looked out for. Scud. seems ill-fit to the needs of this form, we thought, and S shows his nerves\u2014per the us.\u2014\u2019bout the stage. Jeff helped\u2014per the us. too\u2014with the case of Will, his \u201cerotics of contingency\u201d and the way things sort out in the end. Ed plays by a set of rules at odds with these\u2014at times. To speak of odds: John called up \u201cCare\u201d\u2014the rest here far flung from Scud\u2019s in that place. And I glommed on: the bods of these knights, their feels and sense, pose new quests for us: what\u2019s a blush that can\u2019t be seen? And how does one press down that which bucks the will, ev\u2019n as they voice that which they would like not to. Rest, in the mean time, seems fine here\u2014a thing to be marked! But it\u2019s for the end of a \u201cwell-woo\u2019d\u201d bride-to-be: and that new kind of goal draws in a new set of rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our text stretched from 24 to 41 last week: a base on which the work as a whole rests in terms of themes and arc.
