And so we will wither with Mr. Montgomery.
ReplyDelete"Withering," Dink, had a sardonic inclination behind it from the start, originally to do with the scorn to be expected for yet another presentation of a witness of the gadfly character of the 1st part, and then 3 witnesses of the 2nd part on the theme of a man, torn, as in envelope halves, or in Rothko, or in the notorious case of the paranoid Dunson in "Red River."
ReplyDeleteI can see now that this little salient lost its way, but greatly to its advantage as it turned out, to have drawn your kind attention. All that remains to be established is who Mr Montgomery is, and whether any withering is likely. I'd not bet on it.
