Dark Æthiopia in her desert hills
Conceals.
from Percy Shelley – Alastor; or, the Spirit of Solitude on Rap Genius
Meaning
The idea that Africa is a “dark continent,” inscrutable to Western understanding, persists today
The fact that Ethiopia, like “Nature,” is female here calls to mind Freud’s declaration that female sexuality is a “dark continent”
Freud says: “le G-spot n'existe pas”
