DH Lawrence writes a lot about this feeling (and inspires it in me), including the weird sexual dimension. E.g. (this isn't a great example, because it's about knowing another, not yourself, but nevertheless):

>As they sat side by side in the motor-car, silent, swaying to the broken road, she could feel the curious tingling heat of his blood, and the heavy power of the will that lay unemerged in his blood. She could see again the skies go dark, and the phallic mystery rearing itself like a whirling dark cloud, to the zenith, till it pierced the sombre, twilit zenith; the old, supreme phallic mystery. And herself in the everlasting twilight, a sky above where the sun ran smokily, an earth below where the trees and creatures rose up in blackness, and man strode along naked, dark, half-visible, and suddenly whirled in supreme power, towering like a dark whirlwind column, whirling to pierce the very zenith.

>The mystery of the primeval world! She could feel it now in all its shadowy, furious magnificence. She knew now what was the black, glinting look in Cipriano's eyes. She could understand marrying him, now. In the shadowy world where men were visionless, and winds of fury rose up from the earth, Cipriano was still a power. Once you entered his mystery the scale of all things changed, and he became a living male power, undefined, and unconfined.

Bloom was a Yale alumnus while Emerson was from Harvard. I didn't expect him to gush over him so much.

When I read something that I have already come up with I usually think "that bastard published it before me".
New ideas DO NOT EXIST and sometimes you end up relating to something even if you hadn't really thought of it consciously before. Hardly "gnosis"

this board doesn't deserve more effort into my post

In the sense that 'Emerson was from Harvard,' Bloom was from Cornell. Just sayin'

this one sucksWHV4R

This guy was so insufferable. He’s lucky his canon is actually somewhat good. Then again, somehow articulating it closes it off for for those to come and makes it worse in general.
