I do admit to dismissing a boyfriend in a fit of pique while in the throes of teenage angst and really, really regretting it.<br /><br />And maybe the sculptor fashioning his vision of hell is really the dark side of me that appears in the things I write? I don’t know!<br /><br />The idea of it came from listening to young folk who consider that a single event led them to schizophrenia and are quite specific as to what the event was. However, sometimes the specific event is quite remote and could be considered as an Idea of Reference?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idea_of_reference”<br />(For some reason Blogger would not accept the above as a link - grrrrh!)<br /><br />Perhaps the stonemason/sculptors sense of déjà vu was an Idea of Reference? <br /><br />Emmett ~ thanks for pointing me to Langston Hughes who I had not heard of. I have read some of his poetry and ‘saved’ him and will learn more about him. I feel honoured that I remind you of him – thank you.<br /><br />Mary ~ regrettably it was a gravestone. <br /><br />Anna :o]hyperCRYPTICalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967085628384237933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139696084392272622.post-65092280719955046082011-10-28T20:12:19.895+01:002011-10-28T20:12:19.895+01:00A wonderful read.

This has to be on of the clearest and cleanest examples of conflation used to enhance each different yet related element I've read so far. Chilling, as well, with that robotic chant of repetition.
