I really enjoyed reading this post, and I LOVE this particular section, as a non-academic who is often mistaken for an academic, who is fascinated by the culture of intellectuals, and who finds my own attempts at exegesis - on whatever subject - on some cosmic level hilarious. <br /><br />I liked your iSpace female's interpretation, too. Good group ya got there.<br /><br />Passages like this one always make me wonder about the personal reasons why some writers wrote so densely, so allusively, with such opacity.
