SECTION IV
(CHxlPTEllS LXXXIII—XC)
THE DREAM-VISIONS. INTRODUCTION
A. Critical Structure. B. Relation of this Section to (a) 1-36
(6) 91-104. C. The Date. D. The Problem and its Solution.
A. Critical Structure. There is no difficulty about the critical
structure of this Section. It is the most complete and self-consistent
of all the Sections, and has suffered least from the hand of the inter-
polator. There seems to be only one interpolation, i.e. 90^*1'. Of
dislocations of the text there are two : 89** b should be read after
89*!' : see 89*8 q^.[i_ Note ; and 90^^ should be read before 90" : see
9013-10 (note). In 90, vv. 13-15 are a doublet of vt. 16-18.
B. (o) Relation of this Section to 6-36. This question can
only be determined by giving the points of likeness as well as of
divergence. The points of likeness or identity in (1) phraseology,
and (2) in ideas, are :
—
(1) 'Tongue of flesh,' 84i 14^; 'make the earth without in-
habitant,' 845 92.
