Using classicism on such a scale, Walcott legitimatized the themes of his previous books: his culture had existed all along, made up of everything the larger world had dumped there, including language.
Karl Rove — along with predecessors like Lee Atwater and protégés like Steve Schmidt — long ago showed the Republicans that language is slippery, fluid, a river into which you can dump anything at all as long as your opponent is the one downstream.
So far they have revealed little about themselves, posting brief notes and links on Pastebin – a site favoured by hackers to "dump" material – writing in garbled English that suggests it is not their first language.
Of course, the language of dumping is always coded to help cushion people's feelings: "sorry to dump this on you out of the blue" means "yes, I've been avoiding you for ages", while "this isn't easy for me to deal with" means "I don't want to".
So far, all they have done is dump, dump, dump.
"We'll dump them somewhere".
Time to dump everything".
