Expansive, ...Yes, steamers sailing to Kingdom come. Expansive, appealing mystery, like the woman's femininity. And why does the woman have to be a personal love of Ferlinghetti's. Can't she just be a marvellous sexual woman? In the original iteration of the poem, Ferlinghetti used the word 'teats' rather than 'breasts'. I don't know why he changed it. The original was far better and captured her animality, which was consistent with describing her as a human mammal.Reacthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07736986397394563114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284057685674686951.post-46118660942067698242016-08-08T08:09:50.404-07:002016-08-08T08:09:50.404-07:00There are no 'streamers' in this poem, for...There are no 'streamers' in this poem, for chrissakes, they're STEAMERS, i.e. ships in the harbor.vivavinylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337686486283279966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284057685674686951.post-39998488620993168372016-08-08T08:05:18.625-07:002016-08-08T08:05:18.625-07:00There are no 'streamers' in this poem, for...There are no 'streamers' in this poem, for chrissakes, they're STEAMERS, i.e. ships in the harbor.vivavinylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337686486283279966noreply@blogger.com
