A semi-urgent request: can anyone out there (Rick?) give me
the citation information for Kenneth Burke's famous definition
of form as "an arousing and fulfillment of desires. A work has
form in so far as one part of it leads a reader to anticipate
another part, to be gratified by the sequence." If you can't
find the quotation, I guess it's still worthwhile putting up
on the net to read again, eh?
Sorry to clutter your screens. Will
