I thought the human muse figure came in with Orpheus & Eurydice. but I guess that's still on the level of myth. seems like a metaphor for something basic: presence / absence (loss) / contemplation (haunting) ie., how does language express or articulate some thing in consciousness? By contemplating it into words. How is contemplation - or should I say measurement - possible, without distance? Hence this three-step "story". "Unless I go away, the Advocate cannot come; but when I go away, I will send him (the Holy Ghost) to you." (paraphrasing Gospel of John) Henry
