Here Maverick shows those tendencies of oppression that we have only recently started to realise, in that the (symbolically) hygroscopic deliquescence of a statement including interrogative signs or stigmata like 'whose' whilst assuming, in the imperial empiricist manner of the west that there is a meaningful response apart from the peace that passeth all understanding immediately suggests the tortures of the disintegrative soul, one which, we must say, demonstrates also the Ouroborousian tautological hermeneutics characteristic of those still afflicted by the epidemiology of power; naively believing, using the paternal penis of logic (also called patternalism for the repetitive soul-destroying nature of its work), that a response is possible even though the self-abusing zeitgeist of the environment within which this so-called logic operates, besides having repressed feminism, and even motherism, for millennia, is now so blinded by its own Oedipal struggles that it refuses to recognise the Neanderthal tendencies that deny, even now, the spiritual supremacy of the the black African Egyptian home, and hence, rootless and wandering, like Ahaseurus, achieves nothing better than proof of its own frailties...
On the other hand, I might just guess at Rimbaud, or Baudelaire...

Here Maverick shows those tendencies of oppression etc.³Thanks for that shanks - now I know why my effort was marked down. I congratulate you on easily surpassing my feeble word count. I am sure you won't mind if I mention that, for this reader, the sentence had neither sense nor sensibility!

No I am not Milton, nor was meant to be
Am an attendant sod, one that will do
To swell a sentence, start a thread or two...
In any case, it was the 'post-modernist postcard' that set me off, detesting as I do all the intellectual claptrap that this movement is encumbered with - inspired as it is by the French philosophers who claim to be against method and, whilst provoking a useful revolution in the world of science and the philosophy of science (giving us the notion of a paradigm shift), also retreat from a world of reliability into one in which any pronouncement, as long as it was made by a Lacan or someone of similar stature, is treated as if it were part of the Decalogue (whose provenance, no doubt, depending upon which so-called scholar you speak to, is either settled and sure, or else an eternal mystery that nobody should ever feel the right to speak authoritatively about), resulting, as we see today, in a reversion to tribal behaviour punctuated by muffled shrieks of "you said", "No, YOU said" - an overall degeneration from the higher standards of rigour and true intellect that we of the more classically minded, and one may even say without shame, empirical, traditions have cultivated, and with which I compare it with such contempt. (196 words)

Is this by any chance related to another thread?
(Plath and) Hughes' quarrels frequently led to poetry?

Interesting quote from the Edinburgh Book Festival for poesy types:
"People in Britain can never love Sylvia Plath in the same way that (we) Americans can. You chose Ted Hughes and realised that you couldn't love Sylvia Plath at the same time." Andrea Dworkin as near as I can remember it, anyway
