To this poem, readers generally responded by feeling the emotions and perceiving the gaps in the form but only rarely seeing its chiasmic structure. Iconophobia and gynophobia converge in Stuart love tragedies that undergo analysis in terms of a chiasmic interchange between the figuring of beautiful idols as women and beautiful women as idols. As the chiasmic reversal "mourning-grief / grievin'-mourn" suggests, the dense distribution of interiors and exteriors provides the circuit for a movement of desire and serves as a textual strategy for figuring the possibility of an alignment between commensurable quantities. |
