Thank you so much for this, Monica. It's all so 'intensely sad' - Larkin's take on money, money itself as the refusal to see place itself value itself - but all this sorrow will - must - end. The Good has only ever cried to swim in its tears. Hate, separation, darkness, and lack will become - will so soon become - infinity's security as all breakings merely space for flooding with joy as earth's - the sun's - core. It all ends light itself the world the light the world the light the lovers... it all ends ourselves our dead mothers.
What a beautiful and timely reflection, Mónica. This thought really struck me: "She is becoming anchored, not situated; devolving into something smaller than herself. ... Nymphification, in humans, is a form of atomisation and anomie." Your thoughts here remind me of my playing around with an idea a decade ago in my doctoral dissertation. I named the idea "dramatology" (an attempt to feel out an ontology without being removed from the drama of being or too petrified within one dialectical channel). It evokes something of a reversal of nymphification. I'll be pondering your words here for a while. Thank you.
