Re: Split personalities:
What relationship is there between Freud's original theories ( the ones
VN
might have read) and multiple personality disorder? Isn't hysteria or
psychosis enough to describe delusions or "splits" ?
Re: Don's note on the Luna Moth:
Perhaps, beside the interesting biological accuracy, and the visual rich
colors and images, might VN have suggested something more in his
refrerence? For example, "Luna" as in "lunatic"?
Also "sarcophagus" ( Cf EDnote: leaf wrap = sarcophagus?)
etymologically has a dire meaning, I think ( no time to check it but it
serves as a reminder) : doesn't it mean "eats the flesh" in Greek?
