"You talking to me?"

With a tale, for sooth, he comet unto you; with a tale which holdeth children from play, and old men from the chimney-corner.
— Philip Sidney (1554-1586)

"You talking to me?"

With a tale, for sooth, he comet unto you; with a tale which holdeth children from play, and old men from the chimney-corner.
— Philip Sidney (1554-1586)

The titled responsion may be challenging as interpreted through the lens of our contemporary vulgate, and yet I assure you, I have commanded your attention through the tales I am about to share.

Incipit, that larger than all the first letter, the capital annunciation of something divine to follow, the fairy tale that ensues captures the imagination in a forceful continuation of thought. Do you see what I am saying?

Watching the Wretched

I beheld the wretch—the miserable monster whom I had created.
— Mary Shelley (1797-1851)

The titled responsion is an obvious Frankenstein allusion.

The parallels make you question the fusion of technology with the modernity that we refer to as the present. What are your thoughts?

Take-Two Acts of Kindness; the Plurality of One

There are no second acts in American lives.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940)

The titled responsion refers to a cultural transmission of sorts (ie. an ordered arrangement).
