Much Ado, Chapter N

The structural repetition that has dominated the course of twelve chapters is the Losian notion of symmetry. The symmetry we speak of needn't be a perfect mirror, but the image of the pattern can be exemplified in a repetition similar to the modality of writing found in the poetical sketches of Gertrude Stein. Another luminary of thought who utilizes this motif is the great psychiatrist, poet, theorist RD Laing.
