sublime............the power of it to say so miuch, especially as it builds to 
its
specially lyrical end.....................

is magnificent.....................

Including the Long Sentence?
I do hope you will treat that, I've been holding off out of respect,
just making a couple references in order to heighten the anticipation.
Alice was ready to dismiss the earlier one (which I'm still reeling
from the greatness of, far beyond any trivial quibbles about the
"remembrance" clause) and nobody else seemed to want to splash around
in it together, more's the pity, but the long sentence in Chapter 9 is
*EVEN BETTER* - so many delightful features...
