11) That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
Perfectly pure and good: I found
A thing to do, and all her hair
In one long yellow string I wound
Three times her little throat around,
And strangled her. No pain felt she;
I am quite sure she felt no pain.

13) In his story
Sarrasine Balzac, describing a castrato disguised as a woman, writes the
following sentence: 'This was woman herself, with her sudden fears, her
irrational whims, her instinctive worries, her impetuous boldness, her
fussings, and her delicious sensibility.' Who is speaking thus? Is it the hero
of the story bent on remaining ignorant of the castrato hidden beneath the
woman? Is it Balzac the individual, furnished by his personal experience with a
philosophy of Woman? Is it Balzac the author professing 'literary' ideas on
femininity? Is it universal wisdom? Romantic psychology? We shall never know,
for the good reason that writing is the destruction of every voice, of every
point of origin. Writing is that neutral, composite, oblique space where our
subject slips away, the negative where all identity is lost, starting with the
very identity of the body writing.

“
Hence all original religions are allegorical, or susceptible of allegory. and,
like Janus, have a double face of false and true. Poets, according to the
circumstances of the age and nation in which they appeared, were called, in the
earlier epochs of the world, legislators, or prophets: a poet essentially
comprises and unites both these characters.”

“But
though it is in terms of structure that we must describe poetry, the term structure is
certainly not altogether satisfactory as a term. One means by it something far
more internal than the metrical pattern, say, or than the sequence of images.
The structure meant is certainly notform in the conventional sense in which we
think of form as a kind of envelope which "contains" the
"content." The structure obviously is everywhere conditioned by the
nature of the material which goes into the poem.”
