Mmmm, tapioca!  My father never like it; said that it was like eating a bowl
of eye of newt, but that was before sushi came to middle class USA.

Or, to take up your Sibelian riff, Robin [AtD as "Tapiola"],
M&D would be the 6th Symphony (Augustan maturing), GR a mix
of the 5th (quasidialectic teleology), the 4th (expressionist
anguish) and the "Lemminka"inen Suite". (L., "Loverboy" as
Anselm Hollo has translated his name, is the Orphic dude in
Kalevala.) VL would be Finlandia (simplifying it to ensure
delivery). We know what'd be the mix of Valse Triste(ro) and
the Oceanides. As a gloomy work where an artist finds his/her
own voice, V. would be "Kullervo". On the other hand, as a
baggy monster of a class conscious revenge story, "Kullervo"
could also be AtD...
