SNORT THE SNOW OF YESTERYEAR: Helen glosses my tradition-addiction post.

I like these one-liners because they let you “think [one’s] own thoughts in the spaces around the print,” as Diana Wynne Jones said about poetry, so I won’t belabor the point. I’ll just say that I’d conceived my post as being about eros and its distortions; which might clarify and/or intrigue.

There are a lot of ways in which the punchline is true, and Helen’s sharp final paragraph gets at one of those ways. There are probably ways in which the punchline is false, although I’m not yet convinced by her approach there.
