| 34 | 54 | Doubtless the symbolism in this goes far beyond what might be suggested in mere words, for it is fundamental and primal, a thing beyond words, a thing having to do with biology and natural rightfulness, with evolutionary selections and justifications, to be sure, expressed within the aesthetically stimulatory, specific, and enhancing context of a complex civilization unafraid to be the expression of nature, rather than her denier, rather than one fearful of her, and in flight from her repudiable but ordained raptures without which men and women must remain, ultimately, forever estranged from one another. |
