Quevedo aiding Alonso
Elena González Quintas provides a lot of helpful analysis of metaphoric values (de la naturaleza y la mujer) in Quevedo. She makes an excellent point in her concluding paragraph on natural metaphors: Quevedo's revamp of baroque metaphors accomplishes two things -- 1) Distancing the imaginary term from the real (signifier from the signified) 2) to magnify the qualities of the referent (164). This seems to be Alonso's suggestion about real objects returning "with a vengeance". It also seems to be Tim Morton's suggestion on what Derrida's "sin of omission" might look like. Agreed. Agreed.
