...Eartha sang, it was in a smoky, reedlike quaver. Most of the time she was the fervid, grasping female as she trumpeted C'est Si Bon, Après Moi and The Heel. But at the end she often inserted a wistful and not very convincing twist-the manner of the little girl lost in the wicked world...

Admittedly, such an approach requires a temporary spatial schizophrenia, there being only two poles per world in accepted naturalistic schematization. Never mind, because it we are to adopt this attitude, we must merely become a kind of eternally pendent deus ex machina, which...
