'Give me the secateurs!'

".....Pruning is the crown"     Huh

"Thea (geddit?): I put away the seed packets

Faber (geddit?): I put away the [er, um, what would he have? ah yes] factory papers"

I should clarify, George, that (secateurs aside) I don't find any of that in the least bit silly or embarrassing. He knows exactly how much is necessary to convey what he wants to convey, and if he sometimes doesn't worry about any more than that, I certainly don't feel I'm missing anything. In context, the lines you quote are very moving - they're simply there as part of the 'I do my thing ... I do my thing ... we (at long last) do our thing' dramatic progression of the scene.

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Kate Royal on in tune now, singing Weigenleid and Morgen.

Just one of those moments where I was grabbed.

I have to but that CD in September.
