Max, thanks for posting the link to this fascinating
article. I really enjoyed reading about the
synesthetic side to Saussure and about his Englishness
(after all). His brother's complementary work in
geometry and physics was interesting, too. How open
Saussure was to the sensations of language, yet how
logically lucid he remained, his poet's gift for
imagery and temptations to obscurity notwithstanding.
