Roland Barthes, La chambre claire, Gallimard, Paris, 1980, p. 68. "Chez Lacan, la perte est perte de rien, il n’y a pas d’expérience de satisfaction originaire, et la Chose est un pur manque, à la différence de Freud et de Mélanie Klein qui construisent en ce lieu un mythe, soit le corps perdu de la mère." quoted in Martine Broda, L’amour du nom, Paris, José Corti, 1997, p. 33.
In the poem "Death of a Naturalist", the little boy’s "fall" from paradise is presented as having been brought about by Nature; however the frogs are only the projection of his own repressed sensuality; so here again Kristeva’s perceptive analysis of the abject could also be quoted: "L’abject nous confronte, d’autre part, et cette fois dans notre archéologie personnelle, à nos tentatives les plus anciennes de nous démarquer de l’entité maternelle avant même que d’ex-ister en dehors d’elle grâce à l’autonomie du langage." Kristeva, p. 20.
Gilbert Durand, Les structures anthropologiques de l’imaginaire, Paris, Bruxelles, Bordas, 1969, pp. 179-180 : "la sexualité mâle ... est symbole du sentiment de puissance ... C’est en ce sens que se rejoignent en une espèce de technologie sexuelle les armes tranchantes ou pointues et les outils aratoires ... le même mot signifie phallus et bêche."
Seamus Heaney, Preoccupation: Selected Prose 1968-1978, London, Boston : Faber and Faber, 1980, p. 175 : "the Eden myth which, together with the classical dream of the Golden Age lies behind most versions of pastoral. Eden was a garden, an image of harmony between man and nature; it was a place where the owner of the land were the workers of the land, for whom the land itself worked."
As Martine Broda points out in her book, L’amour du nom, poets such as Nerval seem to have believed in paradise lost, and she goes on to quote a few lines from Aurélia : "je me mis à pleurer à chaudes larmes, comme au souvenir d’un paradis perdu." Broda, p. 116.
Heaney, Preoccupations, p.19: "To this day, green, wet corners, flooded wastes, soft rushy bottoms, any place with the invitation of watery ground and tundra vegetation ... possess an immediate and deeply peaceful attraction."
Heaney, Preoccupations, p.19: "thirty years ago ... another boy and myself stripped to the white country skin and bathed in a moss-hole, treading the liver-thick mud, unsettling a smoky muck off the bottom and coming out smeared and weedy and darkened."
Heaney, Stations, Belfast, Ulsterman Publications, 1975, p. 4: "Green air trawled over his arms and legs, the pods and stalks wore a fuzz of light ... Little tendrils unsprung, new veins lit in the shifting leaves, a caul of shadows stretched and netted round his head again."

Heaney, Death of a Naturalist, p. 7. This image which is at the crux of the young boy’s apprenticeship will be taken up again in North p. 32 when the poet addresses the "Strange Fruit", a girl’s head exhumed from the Jutland bog and displayed in a museum: "Beheaded girl, outstaring axe/ And beatification, outstaring/ What had begun to feel like reverence." The girl’s stare challenges the poet and his aesthetic and morbid interest in her - so he turns away.
