The inextricable duality of love is a model for a similar inextricable duality the poem discusses in political idealism. The way the desire for purity shades into sadism is a model for the ways efforts to purify the political world also …

Divorcing Robert Penn Warren From The South, Paul Murphy

The author considersWarren’s place in American intellectual history, which is at present problematic.
