Gravity's resonances

[Mark Kohut]

"His is the death of me. His head in its collar, his hair arranged immovably
on his skull, the muscles of his jowls below, tensed in their places. "
                                   - Kafka,  Diaries, 1910

In Which Esther gets a nose job:
             "her cheekbones which draw her skin so taut that there is
scarcely a trace of
motion in her face and a real face is no longer possible, the large nose,
which rises as
though out of a cavity, with which one can take no liberties"....
