This essay explores Anglo-American modernists' unique expressions of femininity and masculinity. As in the case of H. D. and Mina Loy, a female modernist's experiment with sexuality is quite important in a way that she is the New Woman, the precursor of the Modern Woman. Through the relation between the rose and the steel dust, first their metaphoric use of the rose is surveyed and examined in H. D.'s poem, "Red Roses and Bronze" and Pound's Canto 74. Using the rose as a converging metaphor for their symbols differentiated between the dung, the vortex and the still dust, I discuss H. D.'s, Pound's, and Luce Irigaray's notions of the rose, that is, the metaphor of feminine sexuality and rituals of fertility and fecundity. While H. D. presents a jelly-fish as a symbolic metaphor for fluid femininity in a given pattern, Pound sees the female as an octopus referring to primordial conceptions of the feminine. Strikingly enough, they suggest that a sperm-brain and a womb-brain be a sort of the masculine and feminine vision respectively. Besides, I draws Eliot's homosexuality and his troubled marriage with Vivian Eliot quoting some lines of Pound's Canto 29 as an extreme example of the feminine and the masculine. As a final resolution of their feminine and masculine initiated metaphoric struggles, I bring in the dialectical variations between love and desire, "the osmoses of persons," and reveal a "fiery" space where bisexuality registers mimicry, ruptures, and subversive appropriations.
Abstract
This essay explores Anglo-American modernists' unique expressions of femininity and masculinity. As in the case of H. D. and Mina Loy, a female modernist's experiment with sexuality is quite important in a way that she is the New Woman, the precursor of the Modern Woman. Through the relation between the rose and the steel dust, first their metaphoric use of the rose is surveyed and examined in H. D.'s poem, "Red Roses and Bronze" and Pound's Canto 74. Using the rose as a converging metaphor for their symbols differentiated between the dung, the vortex and the still dust, I discuss H. D.'s, Pound's, and Luce Irigaray's notions of the rose, that is, the metaphor of feminine sexuality and rituals of fertility and fecundity. While H. D. presents a jelly-fish as a symbolic metaphor for fluid femininity in a given pattern, Pound sees the female as an octopus referring to primordial conceptions of the feminine. Strikingly enough, they suggest that a sperm-brain and a womb-brain be a sort of the masculine and feminine vision respectively. Besides, I draws Eliot's homosexuality and his troubled marriage with Vivian Eliot quoting some lines of Pound's Canto 29 as an extreme example of the feminine and the masculine. As a final resolution of their feminine and masculine initiated metaphoric struggles, I bring in the dialectical variations between love and desire, "the osmoses of persons," and reveal a "fiery" space where bisexuality registers mimicry, ruptures, and subversive appropriations.
