"...this exhaustive and exhausting narrative set in 1942 is about 3D television, a canal across Nicaragua, the molecular structure of sugar, and 'etheric stresses due to halfwave-length-dephased hightension pulsations from meshworks'. Among other things."

"The Plot Against the Giant

First Girl

When this yokel comes maundering,
whetting his hacker,
I shall run before him,
Diffusing the civilest odors
Out of geraniums and unsmelled flowers.
It will check him.

Second Girl

I shall run before him,
Arching cloths besprinkled with colors
As small as fish-eggs.
The threads
Will abash him.

Third Girl

Oh, la…le pauvre!
I shall run before him,
With a curious puffing.
He will bend his ear then.
I shall whisper
Heavenly labials in a world of gutturals.
It will undo him."

--Wallace Stevens
