You can also allegorize the approach to the thing you can only conditionally think about. Bishop does this: a lot is translatable, but it fades into what isn't quite. I guess that's why she's so unprecedentedly satisfying--she makes a tangible, coherent object and shimmers every part and angle back toward something deeper. Like great wine in a lovely bottle, or your loved one in the body of your loved one, or...something. Viva Bishop! I think I have a more personal sort of love for her than for any of them but Shelley. She makes you feel you know her.
