I dreamed of "limpid creatures of limitless tact and tenderness who
would discuss with me a semicolon as if it were a point of honor—which,
indeed, a point of art often is," just as in THE FOREST FOR THE TREES
by Betsy Lerner.
Then, in a state of half-sleep, I assembled a "mutual appreciation"
list: Madeleine "I Love Semicolons" L'Engle, Anne Frank, John "We Love
Semicolons for Tightness, Terseness, and Fast Pace" McPhee, Jorge Luis
Borges, Walt Whitman.
