VL p.234 Why 'chocolate-covered bananas?

[Daniel Cape]

Prompts thought of a great German Expressionist painting I saw in a

: Erich Heckel.  Day of Glass.  1913

Lower-left frame a figure of a woman, nude and maybe pregnant, shies
away from a scintillating crystalline sky lancing from the
upper-right. Some hints of foliage, greens, earth-tones.
