Literal minded Alison can't help entering this learned and arcane
argument to point out that
a perfectly common contemporary spelling of o is oh.
And to confess that in my ignorance I read the uhs as ohs, and feel that
a more fruitful exegesis might be found in Prynne's emphasis on
breath/breathing/speech and its concomitant violences and contradictions,
the strangenesses of that immediate marker of physical presence being
written down.
All my Prynne is in a box on the ocean, which perhaps fortunately shuts
me up at this point.
Cheers
Alison
