poetry on its Euphuistic level *was* the psychonalytic treatment AND theory
of the sixteenth century, Andy; along with, as you aptly put it in your
previous post, the music and musical theory without which this poetry
cannot be understood as the moment of musical seduction it is. I'm inclined
to believe the psychoanalysis implicit in all these sixteenth-century
semiotic systems in their interction is more complex, nuanced, and
insightful than even that of Lacan and Montrelay. For one thing, the
sixteenth-century intellectuals, in their "enthusiasmous," understood there
is nothing more serious than the sensual.
