. . . a dream about Susan Sontag making out with Simone Weil . . . Simone Weil with a ten-year-old? That wasn't a dream, that was a nocturnal emission. Better Simone de Beauvoir with Simone Weil (a frisson, they knew each other). And that Ashbery slide about Rimbaud's verse, as if his skill there is a given. Louise Varèse rendered every Rimbaud poem I've seen with a superior turn to his. Celebrity culture again, striving after effect. Sigh.
