those three things
10 December 2001 - 1:41 pm
"i find interesting the distinction anthropologists make between an emic and an etic point of view. emic has to do with the perspective of a member of the society itself and etic is the point of view of an outsider seeing the society in his own terms.
lovers insist on bringing the two perspectives together, a sort of double exposure. to draw into the very inside of my heart the limit that was supposed to mark it on the outside, your strangeness. but keep it strange. those three things. -anne carson (plainwater)
