Heard recently on cogling:
Lewis Carroll (the Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) knew all of the languages mentioned in "The Hunting of the Snark"

If Carroll had written The Red Wheel-Barrow, I would think he was conscious of its Hebrew substrate ... but I doubt Wm. Carlos Williams knew much Hebrew, despite his later friendship with a younger Allen Ginsberg.
Carroll wrote "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and later included that poem in the Alice books. Why not "The Walrus and the Carp" or "The Mason and the Carpenter"? The scientific name for the walrus (whale horse) is Odobenus rosmarus. [Now you know why Dobbin is a horse's name.] That can be deconstructed into Ode = poem + Latin benus = bent, twisted + Aramaic RaZ = secret (as in sub rosa) + (the Virgin) Mary ... in other words, a twisted poem about the secret of Mary.
The Carpenter may represent the Son. The victims (Host) in that poem are the oyst-ers.
There's an interesting discussion along these lines in the opening scenes of the very funny, but very childish (and very offensive to some) film, "Dogma" wonderfully delivered by Matt Damon, playing an angel of vengence who very much knows better, delivered to a nun. I'm inclined, however, to credit Izzy's interpretation as more credible and consistent.
I've just bookmarked a Fauconnier article, after finding it via a peek at wikipedia's listing for cognitive linguistics. One of the attractions of cogling is the high level of academic validity and focus brought to the table the the bulk of the players (and that would *not* include this particular layman.) But one of the frustrations of lurking there for the past few years is the strong sense coglings are exactly the kind of folks with whom one would like to grab a brewskie and set to work unscrewing the inscrutable.
On "empirical:" Ran accross a delightful example of opposed meanings for one "word" (a notion that, for me, shows the begged question behind the word "word.") at my favorite online dictionary.
Well, I warned the fine gent who prompted the Kevin Smith plug that I was
Cost me two bucks to sign up for Smith's board, but I reckon it'll be worth it in time.
