In Reply to: Poetry of Kubatum- Sumerian poet & priest posted by Middle Finger from dsc01-chc-il-1-23.rasserver.net (209.109.244.23) on Sunday, June 15, 2003 at 3:45AM :
My English major friends would have a *ball* (pun intended) with that translation, trying to figure out all the perverse things that Kubatum is REALLY trying to say & for whom the poem is REALLY meant (someone Kubatum must have known).
On another note: why is it "opposites" that unite? Why not "complements" that form a union? I think the word "opposite" removes man further from woman & woman further from man....
