Careful not to misinterpret a muse poet like Bob Dylan as singing this song to a woman with whom he is smitten. Bob Dylan is the chief American Adonis (best description is in Shakespeares Venus and Adonis) one male who never was once smitten by any human woman. Here is the second male in the historical American line who Neal Cassedy initiated. In Dylan we have a poet - slash Adonis persona stronger than any since Shakespeare. The specifics of this character are distinct from many other male mythological figures in that he represents the form of male strength, speed, and beauty which is nearly heedless of all female seductive powers. She, quite simply falls for him. Follows him, usually looses him. His loves are nature and hunting (to master, to stalk, to be swift and agile.) He does however love the muse or White Goddess, who loves him, protects him. In the Dylan song below, you have one of the most simple and direct statements of the Adonis to the Goddess, or any of her incarnations in human women. This guy is no non sense. And if this is a counterfeit of the most central male character in American westerns, in World War II fighter pilots, in the men who came home from that war to enhance the U.S. Navy and built Corporations throughout the world... Adonis is the Greek mythological version of the American Male. You want to see what American woman thinks of him bottom line that illustration is in a song. J.Baez. Diamonds and Rust. Professor Harold Bloom said some years ago, he felt Jane Austen pointed toward a wise principle when she suggested through her novels it is often best a woman shoot slightly lower and accept a husband that, though she many not be enchanted by him, she can both influence him to the point of being tempted to become controlling member of the relationship. And she likes him much and will come to adore him in time. Mythologically speaking, the couples who are equals and the ones where the man is clearly a daunting power, both make for much potential strife.
