The image wasn't irrelevant to me. I saw it as the swirl of inspiration around you...books/words/e as butterflies, psyche for poetry. Art. Dreams of art. Lots of ways to view it.

Thanks for introducing me to a new word, too. I love the sound of it. I'm accenting the middle syllable. Is this the correct way to pronounce it???

Regarding the Shakespeare allusion/word play - it reminds me of a story I will treasure forever. Years ago, I had a movie version of Much Ado About Nothing on the television. My daughter, about 8 at the time, watched it - entranced.

The movie ended, daughter disappeared for a bit then returned with a poem she had written - iambic cadences and everything!!! I was stunned.

The last line: "How can a kid live like this?"

Today, she teaches high school English. The Bard's spirit of empneysis is strong still!
