Obscure? Obscure!
[uh-oh, sounds like he might be referring to _Jude the Obscure_,
by Hardy, which I haven't read. I'll just have to put the best
face on it I can.]
Well, I was hoping for at least 'Demagogue,' but "Obscure" reminds of
Thomas Hardy. I prefer _Tess_ [At least I've seen the movie]
fleeing from "capitalism" and "ownership" and ending up,
finally, at Stonehenge, reclining on that great cool rock- those
long tresses hanging down... You know it's all just another watch,
a very old and special watch, with lots of power?
Annnd, I hear, for the person who really values the finer things
with enough experience and wisdom to handle it, for the right
price....
