intangible, is a matter
of fact. Yes, it's less
material than, say,
an egg which is
made of Fabergé,
and yet: there it
sits, every bit
as intact
and impeccably
jeweled in the pearls
and enamel
which you forged
with great care and
fastidiousness
in the just-as-
immaterial furnace
of your stress—yes,
every bit
as lavish and loving-
ly constructed—
perhaps not quite
as elegant, but
every bit as frangible.
