... acolytes, like those of MorCas earlier and of “naturistes” in the very first years of the twentieth century, do not deserve the grave attention paid them by earnest authors of theses. Works alone give a literary movement its sig- nificance, and the achievement of the Italian futurists...

..., the palace with its nearby woods and hunting grounds. The king, one Thésée, has gone missing and is presumed dead.

..., at last, he lay before her eyes” (5.6.1583). Hippolyte’s corpse no longer immediately tells who he is. The “gaping wound” has “torn” the signifying evidence of the socialized body. 19 In a surprising manner, this hypotyposis provokes in Thésée a movement of repulsion—“Let me, far from this shore...

..., not those of a critical method. Dryden’s temperament is “classical,” as opposed to “Hebrak” or “Christian”: his thoughts are not dominated by overriding purposes, master theses, or logical schemes.
