Was it the ever-bigoted Gertrude Stein that uttered the inscrutable line "A knee grows in Brooklyn" ? |

She was inscrutably misquoted.
What she actually said was: 'There is a kneelin' goat aslant a brook.'

...It here reminds us of the way Angela habitually sulks as she reaches the final candences in many of her performances, thereby leaving an unresolved ambiguity in our minds as to whether a movement has been happy-or-sad, emphatic-or-speculative, energetic-or-lyrical...
candence n A type of musical close or ending which, commonly found in the works of Liszt, gives a fiery or dazzling effect. (from Latin candens meaning 'candle') |

Reminds me of halycon days.

We have the weely bin fiasco! One week its landfill, next recycling. Not very good for the envoirement, I would say.
weely bin fiasco ( mod. slang, Scottish) The schizophrenia experienced by miniscule domestic refuse recepticles of no fixed colour whereby their contents are one day described as 'landfill' and another day 'recycling'. An historical Franco-Scottish tradition remains whereby the street view that is noted on refuse-collection day is still known by the term envoirement. |
