This sentence is mirrored later in the book, on page 510: "...with pencil
words on your page only delta-t from the things they stand for?"

Incidentally, after driving myself half batshit trying to locate this
sentence, I got a clue and consulted Tim Ware's great on-line concordance
(www.hyperarts.com).  Took about ten seconds to find the reference, and this
correspondence was already noted.  Good job on a killer web site, Tim!
