When Jim & Camille & the others submit their posts to this list, are we to assume they have intentions ? Are they trying to convey meanings ? Or are they happy to have me look at their words & make whatever interpretations occur to me on the basis of my own private experiences & associations ? For instance, when I read all these allusions to the transcendental & to the value of religion in life I think I can begin to detect an underlying conspiracy to entrap my interest by what I take to be one of those Bible Belt revivalist sects. Don’t tell me if I’m right or wrong. I’m having a much more enjoyable time sitting here with my fantasies undisturbed. What a wonderfully liberating way of approaching any text. Scottie B.
