This quote was deleted without being moved to the talk page:
- Sappho is a great poet because she is a lesbian, which gives her erotic access to the Muse. Sappho and the homosexual-tending Emily Dickinson stand alone above women poets, because poetry's mystical energies are ruled by a hierach requiring the sexual subordination of her petitioners. Women have achieved more as novelists than as poets because the social novel operates outside the ancient marriage of myth and eroticism.
- Camille Paglia, Sexual Personae (1990), p. 672
- I would question its removal at all - and believe it should be put back on the page. It is a relevant and sourced quote and I see no reason for its removal. ~ UDScott (talk) 18:33, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
