idk if 'tism is right model, but anyway; Anglicism is pre-17th c. Scotus + Occam + Bacon + Wycliffe... there was history
Is there a pvt acct replying to this convo? Read "Batter my heart", tell me if that is a mixed metaphor in your sense
-
-
Batter My Heart presents images of submission by FORCE and contrasts it with the failure of reason to govern him adequately
-
i.e. "God, maybe u rayp me?" Shakespeare crowds the seasons and images of fecundity/poverty together more loosely
-
Sonnet 129, one of the most famous, has no true argument throughout, it is just a see-sawing of images and words
-
Okay, so we agree Donne uses multiple metaphors to great effect, but you just think Shakespeare doesn't get a unified effect?
-
no, it is unified 'effect', but Shkspr's images often go in different directions cf. counterpoint vs variations on a theme
-
It may be that this is a discussion for the DMs
