So infinite our intercourse So intimate indeed, Analysis as capsule seemed To keeper of the seed. Having read and learned from the posts of George and Maggie, I suddenly see another possible reading. Gifted ED: how she loved to craft in so many possibilities. What can a person have infinite intercourse with, experience deep intimacy with? In addition to another person, or with various sides of the self: art. Thus ED may be talking about writers, who were constant, infinite, intimate companions. The invited authors, who again and again returned the invitation as they stood on the shelves, were many, as we know. I have a love affair with Mozart. I have brought him into my house, and he "invites me" frequently to hear his music. With some of his works I have an intimate, very fulfilling relationship. He keeps delivering important seeds (ideas, musically speaking) which I can help to bring to fruition. George jogged my thinking about "capsule," and, indeed Webster's (1828) first definition is "The seed vessel of a plant..." Waiting for other interpretations, I'm sitting happily in Santa Fe, where it rained much last night. Always good news in the desert! Louis --part0_897663617_boundary--
