Patricia,

I'm with you on this point of inversion being intentional -- and I think you've supported your point very well.

I also agree with you on Butler's probable intention of emphasising the ubiquitousness of loss in the human condition. Since we will ultimately lose anyway, it is better to have loved along the way. Makes sense to me.

Thanks for continuing with the submissions -- although I think I will pass on that suggested remedy for ulcerated sores in the Ladies' Dressing Room. ;-)
