the only thing i could come up with is that it gives the reader the chance to further research the text if they so choose, however likely that is... so in that case i can see the use...
i most always cite poetry since i write it, and i dont want anyone to mistakingly think that it is mine... but i dont cite my own work no matter it is i write, i suppose i dont even know if people read it to begin with...
since i feel im probably just talking to myself on this one, ill wrap it up by saying that Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" caused such a furor when it was published in the New Yorker because it completely horrified people...
it is, an expertly crafted and yes, horrifying work of literature that should be read by everyone who has a taste for sublte and omninous, yet somehow nameless untouchable dread... it stays with you long after the reading... maybe i'm just trying to relate some of that, how it echoes my life, probably many peoples lives here, the horror, the horror.
