Lawyers don't care about morality. They're interested in proving guilt or no guilt. Whether the action was right or wrong is open to interpretation, right? I think the definition definitely overlaps and confuses law and morality.
This is a great poem. It's been a while since I've read Salinas. The poem reminds me a little of Neruda's poem Me gusta cuando callas. Both poems are structured around absence, a void, a lack, in order to find some absolute form of freedom, peace or love and to create desire out of this absence and endless search for the physical. Salinas' disarticulation of the shadow body is certainly more graphic and violent than Neruda's poem.
Thanks for the directions on including a link. I see the icon now.
I've been reading Freud's Interpretation of Dreams. To see the analysis unfold--to see how is mind works--is a pure delight. Totem and Taboo will be interesting to read in relation to religion, law, morality.
Mike: What is the status of Latin in Spanish Middle Age teaching and research? Does anyone learn it anymore?
Kent: How did you learn French? I'm realizing my French preparation over the years is not enough to deal with the surrealists. I've been on and off with French. I even took a course here. It's the pronunciation. The BBC has a pretty good web site for French lessons.

I took a year of Latin, and had a blast. It was classical Latin, though, so I took one or two other classes. Of course, that's now 10 years in the past, so my Latin is beyond rusty.
