Yet France produced few great portrait painters: Clouet; Degas was the greatest. but no french durer or van eyck or holbein or velazquez or goya or titian. (Evidently Veazquez was of Jewish converso descent. Recently las meninas topped the charts in some sort of survey as "greatest easel pntng"--& the only good reason to be in madrid.) What I want out of water, tho, is sound: the New Engl brook (we have a small one in our back yard, which babbles only now & then); & the ocean's transcendentally beautiful noise.

Boyd notices but can't explain. Much of Ada is in dream-form (parts in nightmare-form)-- which is so clear, people look straight through & never see it. (The state of cog sci generally.
