Robin's reading of the twins that begin Not You does strike me as consonant with my own reading of Well Enough in Her Riding After, so thanks for it. Helpful. Twins, of course, are often placed in the dawn of creation -- various mythologies -- so as well as a conception there's probably a hint at deep ontological notions of the birth of mind. It would be easy to 'explain' my remark about Prynne and Derrida in some whizzkiddy way: to do so 'as to a child' (a much more intelligent demand, dammit, thank you) will take me a little time to do, as my remark was rather off the cuff and I'm a bit busy. But I'll get down to this in the next two days. Doug %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
