But the Presence of the beloved is still not the issue...the desire
whether she/he be absent or present is still an experiencing of
something one doesn't or can't immediately have. To desire dessert is
simply to desire more. Having sated one experience of lack, one moves
on to another, one always deferred in the experience.
Also, Belsey is here neither right nor wrong. If memory serves, when
she makes the statement, she's explaining Lacan.... now there might be
someone who's wrong.
