Back to AtD smooth metaphor, p.913

[Mark Kohut]

Besides line-reading of works of Art, or attempted Art (if flawed, as so many think atD is), which notions therein are
also found in non-fiction or other works of Art, 

one should point to the writing: tropes, metaphors, scenes, etc. when they strike one.....in AtD, as I'm mentioned, there
is some of TRP's most lyrical appreciation of the natural world, imho 

but here on p. 913 is just a nice metaphor: [They] "stride into an embrace smooth as the solution to a puzzle.." 
we all know what that kind of puzzle solution is like, I daresay, and we might even know what that kind of
embrace is/was like---at least from good movies, some realistic even, but here it strikes me as consciously
movie-inspired, as so much of these recnt sections explore Romance in a literarily Romatic way------
as "psychological Romance"?--how Hawthorne described his fiction...........
