School Version

39. Animal Lust

Where the Bar version emphasises only animal lust, the School version is more inventive in its reading of the 'twining woodbine' text, though the strained scissor-like criss-cross position seems to invite further interpretation.

Apuleius' "The Golden Ass" is probably as much of a source for Deguchi as for Shakespeare, most obviously in the Bar version (Bar 39. Beast with two backs).
