- David, it's "Dickinson." Arne, he *said* he took it out
- of some books.
-
- But hey, you want *proof*, I got proof. Paglia writes:
-
- Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, apparently so
- dissimilar, are Late Romantic confederates of the
- American Union. Both are self-ruling hermaphrodites
- who will not and cannot mate. Both are homosexual
- voyeurs gaming at sexual all-inclusiveness. Both
- are perverse cannibals of others' identities,
- Whitman in his gluttonous self-engorgements and
- invasions of the chambers of the sleeping and sick,
- Dickinson in her ritualistic condolences and lubricious
- death-connoisseurship. Voyeurism, vampirism,
- necrophilia, lesbianism, sadomasochism, sexual
- surrealism: Amherst's Madame de Sade still waits
- for her readers to know her.
-
- I'm glad that's settled.
