We fell silent。 I saw that Black; who’d listened intently to the three parables

I  recounted;  had  now  focused  his  attentions  upon  the  sounds  my  attractive

wife  made  as  she  roamed  the  hallway  and  the  next  room。  I  glared  at  him

menacingly。

“The first story established that ”style‘ is imperfection;“ I said。 ”The second

story  established  that  a  perfect  picture  needs  no  signature;  and  the  third

marries  the  ideas  of  the  first  and  the  second;  and  thus  demonstrates  that

“The opposite holds true as well: If a man’s reed satisfies the wife; his reed of

artistry will pale in parison;” I added。 Like everyone who envies the talent
