Why is this essay called "Primal Visions"?
I believe this essay is called primal visions because it talks about the old times. Also it shows what the old aesthetic things means to Hoffmann. Hoffmann was born 1937 and the old times attract him. He talks about pure love and sex. As in he likes to talk about women body and poetry. He sees these things deeply not just sexually. He find beauty and depths in these things. On the other hand people in modern society think of poetry as a boring thing and use women body just for pleasure. Though Hoffmann admires the beauty of poetry and women which shows he thinks like people from 1900's who had pure intentions towards everything.
