GR translation: with edges fine and combed as rain

[alice wellintown]

Also, had P written, "with" or "as if", the sentnece would carry the
exact meaning that the readers here have made out. So, it would
improve comprehension while changeing or omitting nothing.  Errors
that involve a letter, like the famous Racket for Rocket are easily
discovered by the author; this one, it seems to me, is easy to
overlook unless you are trying to translate it or explicate it in
detail. Though critics have used this sentence in their studies, none,
as far as I know, have questioned it. So maybe I'm full of mud.
