Working Notes/ Similarities between the Myths of Ophelia and Melinda
Worldly power would be away from home just then,
so would the deputy intermediary, and his deputy
would be none other than a disembodied countertenor
in a metaphorical station waiting room.
The ingenue wouldn't die of her own accord then either.
She wouldn't drown in a river; the house would be set on fire.
Somebody behind an arras would be considering
faction as a way to introduce some conflict.
There'd be something provincial and
easily and readily misconstruable in this,
something that begs to be misunderstood,
like politeness, like a prophecy.
