a quote from Joseph Campbells Hero w/ 1000 faces:
Thus the first object of a child’s hostility is identical with the first object of its love, and its first ideal (which thereafter is retained as the unconscious basis of all images of bliss, truth, beauty, and perfection) is that of the dual unity of the Madonna and Bambino.”
Just read Tate’s poems The Idiot, The Subway, and most importantly, The Progress of OEnia. The above quote is very useful in relation to the poem, found by accident, reading around up here in the mountains.
Also useful: Monna Bice is a ref to Beatrice, cordax is a Greek word for an obscene mask, and Seboim was a city also destroyed with Sodom and Gommorah. How you like them allusions? And there’s Propertius, lurking.
Haven’t looked up the epigraph yet.
Progress of OEnia is an extended lover’s complaint, from the cradle of love to the coffin.
P.S The Subway is also worth a read. Short and only had to google one reference.
