So beautifully written. Thank you. What though of Caliban's great speech? - *CALIBAN* Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open and show riches Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked, I cried to dream again. There is so much in this. To begin with we have the achievement of subject-object identity where Caliban feels and knows and lives the truth that nature is enchanted. Then we have the highlighting of the fears and hostility of modernity towards nature. These vary same fears lie behind the war we have declared on nature. This, as all on this list know, is a wear nature will win. But even more remarkable for me is the construction of Caliban, only for a moment admittedly, as the moral and aesthetic superior of the colonist, because in Caliban's speech the moral and the aesthetic come into harmony comradely Gary _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
