starting with Elodea, on through those littlies with long names (where did
you get them from?) adds an extraordinary dimension, Patrick.
A poet hereabouts called Mark O'Connor made himself the laureate of the
Barrier Reef packing in many long scientific names, but he sunk his poems
that way, to my mind, whereas here you make patterned music.
