Abstract

The horse also became for her a metaphor for transcendant vision and a symbolic image of the sexual union which the Surrealists believed would resolve the polarities of male and female into an androgynous creative whole... «The presence of the horse and the alchemical language of transmutation provide stunning metaphors for the symbolic unión of the lovers (now parted forever), the liberation of the imagination, and the release of the spirit» (1989, 39). Los diferentes cabellos muestran a cada uno: los cabellos desordenados de Margaret, su bajo estado anímico; la fuerza del pelo, a Elisabeth: «Itself like a separate animal sitting on her head», y la atracción los del hombre que se disputan: «His hair is so long and straight and almost blue, blue grey, I love it so much». Además, la autora se dirige a un narratario en quien confía y a quien pretende ser útil contándole sus recuerdos: Since I fortuituously met you, whom I consider the most clear-sighted of all, I began gathering a week ago the threads which might have led me across the initial border of Knowlegde.
