On H.D. (Hilda Doolittle): Hermes; Helen; Freud; Corfu; Writing-On-The-Wall; Classical Greek Literature


From someLANDSCAPES blog (Plinius aka Andrew Ray)

Helen in Egypt, H.D. reads

H.D. had strange visions (hallucinations,"writing-on-the-wall") in her Corfu hotel room  at the Hotel Angleterre et Belle Venise in March, 1920 (a "series of shadow- or of light-pictures I saw projected on the wall of a hotel bedroom. . . ")

H.D's Analysis with Freud

“My bat-like thought-wings would beat painfully in that sudden searchlight.” See H.D.s Tribute to Freud
