Nymph, in thy orisons be all my sins remembered. I *know I should order a
new one, it makes all kinds of rude noises and dribbles some strange
greenish lube over the settee.
PS I liked the Steinian bit at the beginning of SIL: some guy is haranguing
listeners in a populous thoroughfare about abolishing the theatres: "A Rose
is a Rose is a..." (it's very faint, I think the guy is attacking the
corrupting effect of plays, it disappeared altogether in the German dubbing
according to those I've asked. Germans, my mountaineering Hausarzt
fr'instance, tend to love SIL, it sort of defuses the oppressive weight of

threshold, since you asked) than OTT...
Goo'night, sweet Prince...
