NGH- it's an acquired taste: all is well.. safe home!!

acquired indeed. but useful, speech and words, and they needn't be strictly spoke or worded in the limited tone that's usually implied by "spoken word." Same goes for "theater" and all the rest.

Where's this list of names coming from? Did he just mention Steven Leyba?

The pdf link has the entire text. I don't know if the names have any formal association, I think he was composing name sequences for theirtriangulation and spark as sound/name in some kind of basic pre-historical way. But I'm not sure. Find out! Very titanically.

I'm glad to hear Henry George and Isadora Duncan and of course DEvid Henry Thoreau, his name in its original order even.

I mean, David Henry, not DEvid, although that's nice too.
