No More Parades: How are we to understand Sylvia Tietjens?
http://nomoreparades.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-are-we-to-understand-sylvia.html
Wednesday, April 04, 2007. How are we to understand Sylvia Tietjens? Most problematic and difficult to understand. Presented herself to Ford's imagination as a pagan goddess. In Some Do Not-Sylvia is compared to Mythological Astarte, Phoenician goddess of love and fertility, and Lamia, in greek stories the witch who sucked human blood. Sylvia is neither of these. Never reducible to a single fixed aspect. To be seductive and to be chaste" is the condition she aspires to. My site : waist to hip ratio.
