minutiae / GRGR 1, 2

[David Casseres]

Cometman sez

"Speaking of minutiae, the strongest impression I got from the beginning
of M&D wasn't the snowballs, it was the grain in the wood on, oh, some
piece of furniture...and I am going to take a closer look at the grain
in the wood on the dining table in the Throsp maisonette (after I
finish my banana omelette)"

O yes.  That Grain, that leads the Eye progressively Knotting Into the Wood.

Come, when we finish this GRGR, we must proceed straightway into a new
MDGR, since M&D so much Illuminates GR.

Meanwhile, I too relish the Minutiae.  Huzzay for Close Reading!
