The Touching

At first there were

details of clever

speculation with no

interplay of life and

art as if there was no

way to know why some

people suggest what authors

have in mind like allusions

to political issues like scissors

of historical fiction at least seemed

to connect disparate elements or

breathed life into a dead culture:

yet psycho-biography is about as

unreliable as one can get:  better

to touch each other physically

behind the library stacks.
