Perhaps this factor should be considered when trying to analyze the dive "away from the sexual connotation" in the next paragraph. Otherwise, thanks to Brian for the article.

I took Keats' "Penetralium" as the title for a prose cycle I've been working on (abandoning, returning to) for over a decade.
