AtD, p. 837next..'without the possibility of another meaning'

[Michael Bailey]

but it's more likely you meant

635 - "Fate does not speak.  She carries a Mauser,
and from time to time indicates our proper path."
Gunther to Kit



(also on p 635, I caught an overtone:
"that terrible ecstasy known to result from unmediated
observation of the beautiful" -- a poem that, um, somebody
I know suggested was about one of the Care Bears...

Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare.
Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace,
And lay them prone upon the earth and cease
To ponder on themselves, the while they stare
At nothing, intricately drawn nowhere
In shapes of shifting lineage; let geese
Gabble and hiss, but heroes seek release
>From dusty bondage into luminous air.
O blinding hour, O holy, terrible day,
When first the shaft into his vision shone
Of light anatomized! Euclid alone
Has looked on Beauty bare. Fortunate they
Who, though once only and then but far away,
Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.

 	-- Edna St. Vincent Millay)
