Back to AtD. "her eyes were enormously given"

[Mark Kohut]

Nice....
 
Belated probe. I haven't read Borges for a long while, except for what has gone around on
the plist guitar lately.........
 
But, my sensibility and Morris' remark on his leads me to ask: Does this line feel to anyone
else as if it might be filtered, so-to-speak, through Borges' sensibility by TRP?...Somehow 
you can feel Borges in it?......

 To me it sounds like quantum counting.  Hard to keep count.




p. 949..."The farmhouse was teeming with children, whough when Cyprian actually counted, there were never
>more than two."  
>A beautiful line to me....like how a non-Tolstoyan "realist" of a later century captures the fact of active children irrealistically. 
>(Remember the kids in the opening of Anna Karenina?)
