In addition to several Yeats quotes, I just worked a Boland quote into my Joyce paper. I AM AWESOME.
(Okay, yeah, at this point I'm just showing off. It'll probably be cut in the final draft.)
More seriously, I am tentatively going to call this the best critical piece I've ever written, at least at this point in its evolution. The digesting Wales paper from last semester and the Yeats/William Morris paper from junior year come close, but I think this tops them. Although, granted, it's not finished. I would quite like it to be finished, because I think it's really tight as it is, and adding in more will just open a can of worms that will take pages to corral (don't you love my mixed metaphor?), but, uh, seven pages is not quite conference paper-length. I need three more.
Back to work...
