It's one I still like, but as to thinking through the implications of
the remark, that will require more time & effort.... But it's
interesting that some artists actually go back & use the 'ancient

that all the methods available are, precisely, available, & therefor
useful, depending....

He takes Erato’s face, dribbling and wild, between his hands
and kisses her gently as if she were a runaway teenager.
