  * It is the voice mixed with milk...
  * Correlating images of city and soul.
  * Paradoxies, binaries and juxtapositions -- unconscious textual tactic to undo patriarchy: fluidity of female power. -- selfless (through phallocentric discourse) --miming the sexuality in a masculine mode - traditionally masculine constructs are feminized and vice versa.
  * Mother becomes father/brother and father becomes mother.
  * strategy of modesty: woman: a humble creature
  * desire for three wounds, longing for sickness, desire for Christ's passion
  * tender and fair
  * blood of Christ: milk of the mother. -- breast milk is processed blood
  * protective, productive, nurturing and consoling space of the maternal matrix
  * Virgin mother: focal point of men's desires and aspirations: the maiden becomes sexualized, bestowed with the earthly powers of the feudal lady of medieval courts.

  * Contemporary longing for a bodiless perfection: textual, remote relationships; longing, waiting, visualising, body sickness deteriorating of the bodily functions. Intrusions of junk mail. Reality is text. What is a centre? desire for the untouchable. Opening of one's own self. Therefore: monogamous relationships aren't possible.
  * Sum of all goodness
  * Many such loves. the body disintegrated through various channels. the point is to find the centre, to re-find the boundaries and limit oneself.
